We had some new potatoes – variety Carlingford – tonight which were planted at the end of July. Cooked with the last of the mint- they were fantastic! They are slightly waxy, which is good for a new potato.
The skins scraped just like earlies.
Carlingford-(scraped)
Very exciting when you can extend the growing season!
The Carlingford seed potatoes were planted in the potato bed when the early Bard potatoes had been lifted. So the same piece of ground has grown two crops of potatoes in one year. But it will not grow potatoes for another seven years, as we rotate them around the garden to reduce the risk of eelworm and other pests.
The Carlingford new potatoes have yielded well and taste fantastic.
