    Does anyone have any experience of growing Sarpo Mira potatoes.
    I have read they have great resistance to blight and pests.
    What do people think of the taste?

    Done these as main crop 2 year ago had great success and nice crop different sizes of spuds even to mad bolder size ideal for bakers and chipping taste wise ok there not terrific not the worst either... last year had lil to no success with them using first years small spuds for seed... And that's my two cents...

    I was hoping to do the same this year.
    The leaves still looked as if they had some blight but it didn't affect the tubers
    Found some of the bigger spuds a bit woody.

    I have planted 3 rows of them because of the good weather we are having. Please tell me they are more edible than some of the reviews I have read online?
