Potato 'Novella' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. ‘This new Agrico variety did well in my own garden but is difficult to assess as independent figures don’t yet exist and descriptions vary. For me in a very cool, wet year, it was mild, waxy, a little scabby and noticeably blight resistant. According to Agrico it is capably of being floury.Useful links: How to grow potatoes in the ground Potato Selector Guide |
Potato 'Saxon' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. After hearing me decry modern varieties for lack of flavour, one of the promoters insisted I tried ‘Saxon’. It is very pleasant and creamy. I ate my words (as well!). It is an attractive, high yielding, disease resistant, general purpose variety from PBI (now Cygnet PB). To avoid gaps, ‘Saxon’ needs to be planted in mild conditions. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Bonnie' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. This is a high yielding, uniform, attractive variety from Nigel Starling of Cygnet PB. It is disease resistant, general purpose and can be relied upon to produce summer bakers. It lives up to its name, has done well in consumer tests and has quickly established itself in the garden trade. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Nicola' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum Second early. Close grown ‘Nicola’, ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Maris Peer’ have become popular in recent decades to supply the demand for small, firm, waxy salad/ boiling potatoes with flavour. ‘Nicola’ is yellow fleshed, eelworm resistant and grows long if given space. It used to be blight resistant but recent strains have changed this. Many new varieties are 'designed' for Nicola’s niche but usually lack the flavour. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Edzell Blue' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. An old second early potato dating back to the early 1900’s. Stunning violet skinned tubers with contrasting white flesh make this a particularly attractive variety. Potato ‘Edzell Blue’ has a delicate flavour and floury texture that can be prone to collapse when boiled, but makes fabulous good chips, mash or roast potatoes. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
