I have already got ‘Rocket’ <a title="growing" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/growing/">growing</a> in pots in an area that I hope wont catch the frost and they should be ready in 10-12 weeks as the name implies.</p> <p><strong>Stroma </strong><br /> Stroma a second early, gives a good yield of attractive red skinned <a title="tubers" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/tubers/">tubers</a>. It has good resistance to common and powdery scab, and worthwhile resistance to <a title="blight" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/blight/">blight</a>. Flesh is waxy and yellow.</p> <p><strong>Dunluca</strong><br /> Tuber characteristics are a smoothness of cream skin on an oval tuber. The flesh is light yellow. It is a first early potato that is sweet and well appreciated.</p> <p><strong>Harmony</strong><br /> Harmony is ideally suited to the UK giving very high yields of bold bright tubers as a main crop. It has excellent storage characteristics with long natural dormancy and resistance to black dot and silver scurf. Grand for Baking.</p> <p><strong>Pentland Javelin</strong><br /> First early, high yielding potato with a tendency to bulk late. High resistance to potato virus and good resistance to common scab, damage and bruising. Firm cooked texture and good boiling quality useful as a salad potato.</p> <p><strong>Rocket</strong><br /> Produces extremely early yield of firm, waxy texture tubers. Particularly suited to green top lifting and responds well under polythene.
