Was up our allotment the other day just getting in the last of the potatoes, so what's gone in spud wise is as follows

1st Earlies:
10 Milo Sarpo
20 Rocket
2nd Earlies:
20 International Kidneys (aka Jersey Royals)
Main Crop:
20 King Edward
20 Desiree
Also got the usual beetroot, carrot, parsnip, beans, peas, 2 lots of sweetcorn (early/late) and the squash/pumpkins are ready to be planted out once there's no more frost (butternut, gem, rouge, sweetdumpling..etc..)
Cheers for that Kymmy, you are certainly into the allotment business. Chilli powder? What happens when it rains does it still work? I planted some potatoes, don't know what type but they are coming up!
