That didn't puzzle you for long, Luit.  Red Duke of York is one of my favourite tatties.  It can be eaten as an early potato or allowed to grow big and can be baked or used for chips.  It's only fault is it is very dry and can break up if not cooked carefully.

Wish I'd known that a couple of months ago. Our tatties are in! :-\ I think I've mentioned it before, but a friend was employed, whilst he was a student, to check the varieties grown by farmers. He reckoned he could recognize over 50 varieties by their leaves and stature. 8)

I grew pink fir which are a great late salad potato MMMmmmmm....your Red Duke of York sounds interesting and I will look out for it to recommend as my daughter is now growing potatoes and other veg in her tiny garden vertically - would make a good late season meal of bangers and mash I assume  ;D

No prizes for the name of the flower, but why did I take the pic?

Is there a stick insect or a cricket hidden in the image, Anthony?   I must stop taking these tablets.   :D

Anthony,

If YOU don't know why you took the pic, then how exactly are WE supposed to?  ;)
