Please Doris, also add your selection criteria, including their conservation and their cooking.

If you have both especially for the Spunta to compare with my orphan and unknown foot, thank you

Here are the pictures. Regarding Rosabella, I think I will come back to the Delicacy next year, we both have a slight preference in this direction, firmer flesh, larger tubers etc.
Here is Rosabella, a plant, which I thought had been carried away by mildew, and which is still living its small life:

Spunta, which still produces a little:

Delicatesse and Spunta:

Next year I will be doing the Spunta again, it's a potato, which I have been using for a long time in my profession, and I have trouble finding it in the store here, so I take advantage of my vegetable garden. I like it in my job, because it's big and long tubers, and it makes great homemade fries, for example. And it behaves well for any kind of preparation, does not boil, etc. It's the same for Delicacy, we like it very well. I added this year the primlady, which is also nice, and which continues to produce, more a lot, but enough for us. Regarding conservation, I can only speak of the Spunta and Delicacy, and what I say may not be appropriate elsewhere, because like most people in the Landes, I do not have a cellar, nor any other cool place. In my cellar, even in the middle of winter, it is between ten and fifteen degrees, so storage for me is not so much a criterion, because I do not have the right conditions. Nevertheless, my 2020 Harvested Delicacies started to germinate timidly before Christmas, and I finally put them under hay in January, it was getting unmanageable. The Spunta germinated a few weeks later.

Decidedly, it suffices to criticize, and we are contradicted: here is the last harvest on a Rosabella plant, almost dying in July, since regularly small samples, and now at its final end of life still 600g, with medium-sized tubers

Great thanks a lot.

This comforts me in this choice also for here ...
And the foot of the spunta is quite similar to mine at first glance, that's what we had determined, based on my explanation with the guy from the coop.

In the 1st post, what are the feet at this moment?
If so they are still great say so

Yes, it dates from this morning. I myself am quite surprised by what is happening in my vegetable garden this year, between the tomatoes, which have regained a second youth, to offer me in the end almost as many harvests as last year, and the apples. of earth that I wanted to unearth like everyone else, and which became again as beautiful as in the spring. I say it and maintain, this year, much more than last year, if I had not observed certain evolutions, let the living being and the plants live their life, I would have missed out on a lot of things. The vegetable garden was not all the time "pretty" in the eyes of some, even the rest of the land, with complicated weather, me resting precisely on the days when it was raining, it's ugly, but it was all the time. productive and generous.

Oh yes, these are great plants

But is the whole plot like this or are they just a few plants?

I do not see Doris any criticism, contradicting you either. From me you only receive congratulations. Thanks for all the details you just gave us, I really appreciate it.

It's only a few plants left, but surprisingly at this time of year
