Hello again - thank you to all who answered my earlier post re where to get the above - they are now appearing in the supermakets but now we have another question !!!! what does cal.53/40 etc mean? Each variety we looked at had different numbers - HELP ......... (you would never guess that we are new to this Grow Your Own lark !! - prefer PYO myself but Mr M is adamant that he wants to taste the home grown variety!!!!

Calibrated.  Same as crevettes.  It is their size.  How many in a kilo for example.  Some of the spuds are very small....  If you buy 5 kilo of say 28/32, you get about 300.  45/50...480 say.

Which is very nice but lots of rows.  And digging!

I have the excuse of the new fosse this year.  Just flowers I think!
