I was looking at this pic on BBC this morning...

...and I wondered if anyone knows anywhere in our region where you can buy exotic spud varieties? I'd love to grow some of those strange elongated ones, or the black ones, in fact anything different from the usual. I'm all for experimentation and it seems we restrict ourselves to a handful of varieties.

Try www.alanromans.com lots to try in there, including blue and red ones. Not local, but they do mail order

Marfona are still me favourite ever :) so fantastically creamy that they don't need butter on them :thumbsup:
