A new tune for old tubers

Article Abstract:

There has been a revival in the popularity of heritage potatoes in the UK over recent years. Seed company Mr Fothergill's, for example, now offers 22 heritage potatoes, of which 10 can be purchased as seed and 12 as micro-propagated, virus-free plantlets. The company also sponsored four amateur potato growers to make a display of 422 varieties at the 1998 Malvern Autumn Show. Amateur gardeners can derive great pleasure from sampling a few heritage potato varieties each year.
