Late Planted Early Potatoes.

When the early new potatoes had been dug at the beginning of June, some chitted Maris Bard seed potatoes were planted in their place.

These late planted early potatoes have just been dug. The potato haulm has
remained healthy, but they went through a very dry period, and some of
the tubers have suffered from corky scab.
In spite of this, they have yielded a substantial 2 kilos from one root.
These Maris Bard potatoes have been in the ground for about 12 weeks.
The other Maris Bard were planted as second earlies in late February.
