Potatoes - Bonnie
Little of my own information on this variety - however, it's fairly recent, and Thompson & Morgan comment as follows in their catalogue:
bold, round/oval uniformly shaped yellow skinned tubers with pink splashed eyes and cream flesh.
A bright skin finish hence the apt name. Recent tasting assessments have given Bonnie good reviews, particularly boiled and as a baker.
Good disease tolerances and resistant to golden eelworm.
Ian Barbour at JBS Seeds describes it as a second early and comments on the
even-sized tubers which makes it a good choice for the exhibitor.
It has good resistance to black dot, good dormancy,good resistance to blackleg, common scab and PCN Ro1. It is susceptible to powdery scab and PVY.
I am grateful to Chris Hitchcock and William Whitehead for permission to photograph this sample, which was on display at Painswick Rococo Gardens during October 2008.
