Potato Varieties

Having difficulty obtaining seed potatoes in WA? Warwick and Gillian recently came across the wonders of the markets in Albany, and in particular, Andrew Bathgate. Andrew provides seed potatoes and is happy to talk with Permaculturists about substantial purchases. This would mean bulking up with family or friends to have order quantities of at least 5kg per variety.

He advises that from June he will have most of the following varieties: Kestrel, Delaware, Ranger Russet, Nicola, Norland, Royal Blue, White Star, Eureka, Maris Piper, Kipfler, Dutch Cream, Pink Eye.
