Just harvested a row of 5 Arran pilots sown 26th March (15 weeks ish) – maybe a bit conservative after the yields with Red Duke of York:
I got: another 8 Red Duke of Yorks which had escaped the harvest previously – bringing total yield of that row to 3lb 4oz.
30 small APs weighing 1lb 5oz;
15 medium APs weighing 2lb 1oz;
10 large APs weighing 2lb 14oz;
So: 55 Arran Pilot potatoes weighing in at 6lb 4oz, which is 1lb 4oz per tuber planted and 11 tubers per plant harvested. All were free of disease.
Running total for the 1.5 square metre experimental plot is now 9lb 8oz after the harvest of 2 of the 4 rows (still Pentland Javelin and Charlottes to come).
