Jo planted two different types of potatoes with us. We are planting them side by side to investigate which will be more successful in our soil. One variety we planted is the Lumper potato. The Lumper is a potato variety upon which millions of Irish people depended on until it was destroyed by blight during the famine from 1845 onwards. Planting these is a way of commemorating those who died during the Famine.
Thank you Jo!
