Well Inishindie did you manage to track down that spud ? I'm also in the hunt for some Champions and was wondering if you were successful and where to go for them ? |

Hi
Monkeynic put us onto seedsavers, who apparently have them in...
http://www.irishseedsavers.ie/
Couldn't see them on the website so it might be a phone call...
Cheers

Apparently one must join up as a subscriber before they let you buy the heritage varieties. Something to do with limited stock. I only want a few spuds
Thanks for the reply. |
