Fer crying out loud.. it was a response to Gary's price objection.

If I didn't grow them I could EASILY FIND and buy them in any UK
supermarket from May onward. I WOULD (and DO) buy them regardless of
price, before my own crop is ready.Yes they are more expensive in the
smkt than maincrop potatoes, but I'm worth it.

There are many foods that are vastly superior picked straight from
the garden to the kitchen to the plate; new potatoes are one of them,
along with peas, sweetcorn, lettuce. You can't buy that quality at any
price.
