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.
With the Tarbais your cassoulet must be at the top!

I misspoke, I was referring to a post above, where I said not to redo rosabella, it only gave me small tubers. And there, I go to the vegetable garden, I pick up a wilted rosabella stalk, and contrary to what I said above, large tubers. Just talk, and nature revolts.
Yes, with my Tarbais, the cassoulet promises to be good : Cheesy:

Cassoulet, I love it, but it's not the country for it. :(

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

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


Ok ah yes quite the one in the photo is in great shape ...
Couldn't it possibly be a tuber that would have sprouted?

No, it's the initial plant, one of the plants, that I wanted to pull up in July, because I thought it had come to an end. And when I started to search under the hay, I saw fresh starts of leaves on the branch, which I thought was wilting. Depending on the plant, I harvested a few potatoes, but I could already see the future tubers. It concerned a good third of the plot.

My memory is fooling me or not? Primlady, isn't that Rikea ???

Cramée by mildew at home. The tubers appear to be intact (but sometimes you discover the mottles by cutting them!). And small production - but I think I had a lot of plants tossed by the mole rats. The density of survivors was low. But the production of these survivors was not dazzling.

Yes, that's it, primlady is rikea. Well at home, very affected by mildew in July, they are still producing. After that it's also not dazzling productivity like last year, but hey, if I compare, I would like to compare what is comparable, and 2020 and 2021 are not comparable at all.

The Rikea in 2020 were great here. This year they disappointed me. For 2021 I hesitate to plant any.

The annoying side of agriculture is that you do not know until after the fact what to do!

So "never all the eggs in the same basket".

A priori, it is rather sensitive, but rather precocious: pulls out of the game in the dry years. And is struggling in a wet year. Logic.

.

but just as problematic will be the choice to be made for 2022. Resilience as well as a little intelligence will not solve much, the MTO we do not order, And as you say: we must diversify the varieties, at least if we can. I'm looking for varieties that are "universal", if not too utopian!

Without wanting to call it universal, but the spunta has, in my climate, given good results last year in a very dry year at home, and with little watering, and this year too, despite the weather, good resistance to diseases, decent yield, and nice size of tubers. I harvested the first spuntas at the end of April, three months after they were planted, under winter cover and tarpaulin, and I took out the very last ones last week. Five months of regular production.
