I have just remembered another thing about new potatoes and that is
how to grow new potatoes for christmas lunch. An old gardener that I

around the middle of september he would plant them in a tub filled
with compost and keep it in his greenhouse and eventualy the plants

Ah yes, Jersey Royals -- Delicious (as long as they are good and
young; as more mature potatoes they can't compete with some of the
others )

Some of the most delicious potatoes we've ever tasted were the result
of planting some early imported King Edwards into the top of the

winter in warehouses at a certain temperature so I thought they were
called old. Just my guess.

New potatoes are the ones that you dig shortly after the flowers have
died off and the skins are thin and can be rubbed off or scraped. Old
potatoes are thick skinned and require peeling. Any potatoes that are
exposed to light above ground when growing will turn green and become
poisonous and should be discarded,likewise the seed pods following the
