Absolutely bowled over by the rich lavender /lilac colour of the skin on my Arran Victory.

Having never grown this variety before, what are they best for?

They sound interesting! Where did you get them from?

Sarcastic actually :oops: , tongue-in-cheek I hasten to add :wink: .

Tuckers do not have much of an on-line sales thing for seeds, etc. :(
Request their catalogue, it is quite old-fashioned, few pictures, black and white, but full to bursting with varieties standard & organic. :D

I keep digging them up in my plot (I've never planted them) and they are the most wonderful colour.
