This year I am trying Ratte, Arran Pilot and Pink Fur Apple.</p> <p>Pink Fur Apple I have tried before and seams to be very good and keeping the scab at bay.</p> <p>Arran Pilot I have also tried. Although it was more susceptible to scab, as long as you dug them early everything was fine.</p> <p>Ratte is a new one on me, but after Bunny Guinness, who lives not far from me, suggested it, I thought it was worth giving a go.</p>http://lettersfrommygarden.co.uk/post/45012994911http://lettersfrommygarden.co.uk/post/45012994911Sun, 10 Mar 2013 09:25:00 +0000vegetables
