Well I wouldn't quite say rubbish, but on the disappointing side. Nearly all
ours finished and browned off several weeks ago, in the drought I couldn't
get enough water into them, despite some of the rows having perforated pipe
buried along with the seed potatoes. Marfona weren't too bad, but they're
the first earlies, so the drought hadn't really taken hold then.

I've only dug up the Charlottes at the moment but had so many that haven't got round to rest of crop:)
Not big but then that doesn't really matter. Had very little water as it was so difficult to use watering can enough.

Mind you carrots were good as is/was parsnips but runner beans and French beans rubbish ..
