Nina

“Luck is really like. It is strange that some experts did not appreciate. Maybe other varieties have a sweetness or something? The potato should be a good potato. I first met this variety 7 years ago, when I bought it from a woman in the bazaar. She traded Luck and praised for a long time, advising to try. Then often updated already purchased from the company. Time has passed, I want to renew it again, it just tasted bad, the yield decreased. But while in local stores there is no, only on the site, and there the delivery costs as much as the potatoes themselves. Expensive. I’d better wait until he appears here. ”

Tatyana

“You can refresh yourself by collecting seeds. And if you take it, it is better to find out first what kind of reproductions the selected potato. If they sell expensive, then some kind of super-mega-elite. Luck nevertheless grows in different ways, it depends on the locality itself, and on the soil, climate, as they look after. We have to try, though he hasn’t shown himself in our country yet. ”

Sergey

“I don’t know how the others kept it, we quickly wilted, before the New Year’s. And to taste, yes, good. It boils quickly, soft, and fries well too. And it’s good in appearance - the tubers are beautiful, even ”

Tatyana

“Strange. I don’t know how you stored it, I plant it for a year, it is stable until spring! Seed renewal takes place every 3 years ”

Olga

“I decided to try, only the soil is heavy, wet with us. I was afraid of decay, but nothing happened. Grew up, gave a good harvest, I think we really tolerate different soil. If you look at the taste - great potatoes, just the middle ground. Cooking too. It doesn’t turn into porridge right away, it doesn’t become soap either ”

Irina

“Good grade. I chose it when I decided to plant my potatoes. Indeed, the lush bushes turned out, the harvest also pleased. And it is stored well. I keep my supplies in the pantry, it is dark and rather dry there. Nothing, the winter lasted, did not sprout and did not rot. Good luck, there is good luck. I don’t know why connoisseurs did not like it. It tastes the most. I myself do not like too sweet. Somehow they took potatoes, though in the market, it turned out to be sweet. I had to add more salt. Although, someone likes it sweet "

Katerina

“I liked it for a summer residence. Planted 2 ha, then harvested. Indeed, it keeps up early. But you can enjoy delicate potatoes. Last year is not the same. And here! The skin is thin, flesh with an incomparable taste. We were immediately on the coals and baked to try. I really liked it. Already a couple of years, only Luck and plant "

Konstantin

“For me, the usual variety, nothing special. Yes, it grows well, but it looks good. And it tastes fine. I probably love red potatoes more, white is not inspiring. Sometimes we take for a change. Mashed potatoes really come out good, without lumps and do not cook for a long time. ”

Valentine

“Growing potatoes is quite difficult. She planted earlier, then all summer she fought with a bug, then with other misfortunes. I had to process, watch the bushes. Luck was either lucky and the pests got a little divorced, or it is really more stable. The bushes came out sprawling, small. But there are many tubers under each. Medium, round and oval. Quite satisfied. He then stood until spring, did not germinate and retained the taste. Now I will try Luck again. In terms of quantity, the harvest also pleased, even with the neighbors a bit shared "

Jana

“I don’t grow potatoes myself, I buy, I like luck to taste and its appearance is excellent. Neat, beautiful tubers, dense and without wounds. I often take it. It boils well, for soup, mashed potatoes everything goes. I used to think he was so because of some pesticides, but everything seems to be his own, natural. And the sellers praised "
