The Chef planted his Vivaldi seed potatoes in the plot today.The variety Vivaldi is:

  • Second Early
  • known as ‘weight watcher’s potato’ – has up to a third fewer calories and a third less carbohydrate than most other varieties
  • known as the ‘butterless baker’ as its creamy texture and flavour mean that as a baked potato, it does not even needed butter to improve its flavour!
  • good boiled, roasted, baked or mashed
  • oval tubers
  • yellow skin
  • pale yellow flesh
  • resistant to scab.

He planted a row of  Maris Bard potatoes on 2nd April and they are still covered with fleece.  The fleece will keep them warm and protect them from any frost.

The Vivaldi potatoes planted today need some warm weather to get them going.
