Couched 2



West Leicester, December 2016


Trials have found good resistance powdery scab.  It’s a chance for Lee to finally unburden himself: to reveal the truth about his job and the depths he has sunk to in order to provide for his wife.  It shows very good storage capability, but he doesn’t tell his wife the full story, and continues to carry around secrets.  Tubers have poor resistance to splitting and some resistance to bruising - and, later, he reaches breaking point when he finds himself in an impossible situation including French fries.  Running out of options suitable for pre-pack and export markets - will the ex-soldier decide there’s only one answer to his problems?  This variety has low resistance to dry rot (F. sulphurous).
