No.4: Choose First Early potatoes

Pentland Javelin is a good choice for sandy soils, and Home Guard seems to favour a clay loam.
In a good season, Epicure lives up to its name, generating murmurs of delight over its melting, buttery flesh, and the exhibitor is directed to the even tubers of Rocket, as waxy as you could wish.
