Time to dig up my Mayan Gold potatoes, a beautiful sunny day meant they were dug up, dried out and bagged up in a couple of hours. Quite impressed with these Mayan Gold, especially for yield, planted 2 Kg of seed and dug up 46 Kg.
As a potato they are a bit strange, you can't boil them ... at all. But baked they are heavenly, dry and very creamy. They are supposed to be wonderful roast, chipped or sauteed, but they need ageing a bit before that. Come September I'll try that and let you know.
On the negative side they are slug magnets, lots of holes with a resident slug at the bottom, and the plants are huge with growth at least 3 feet tall, which I didn't realise until afterwards when I ended up with a potato jungle.
I suppose that means it's autumn now.
