Desiree spuds, planted I think first week of May. Opinel no. 7 for scale
Wedges I made from Desiree I dug up yesterday, not the ones above, same variety though. Think an extra ten minutes in the oven wouldn't have hurt, they were tasty though!

| Two of my spuds have had slug damage so far. I did completely dig one top, but also felt around through the mounded soil on a few others for bigger spuds. |

I Have grown desiree for the past few years and have a lot of success with them. I love the flavour of them and although I had a poor yield this year compared to previous years they were still the best yield.
PS the wedges look delicious. |
