With pink skin and waxy yellow centres, this variety produces a rich flavour to savour. ‘Pink Fir Apple’ is a reliable maincrop potato that is popular among home growers for its hardy nature, being suitable to grow in sheltered or exposed plots. This variety is ideal for steaming or boiling salads, roasting or for making gourmet-style pub chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our seed potatoes are graded to a size 35mm x 35mm to 55mm x 55mm. This means that the smallest seed potatoes in the sample will not fall through an 35mm square. This does mean there will be various sizes within the pack. More modern varieties are more equal in size but as we want to offer the more unusual and Heritage varieties, these are more variable but we will always supply the weight stated. Any harvest will depend on individual growing conditions but generally smaller potatoes will produce smaller crops and larger potatoes will produce larger crops. But for example 1kg of seed potatoes will produce the same overall harvest whether the seed potatoes are small or large.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marshalls Garden","offers":[{"title":"1 x 1kg Tubers","offer_id":56333670613371,"sku":"10506833","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 2kg Tubers","offer_id":56333670646139,"sku":"10506520","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/8100\/8691\/products\/1050-6520_potatoespinkfirapple_4e2be7e5-7c74-4745-90bc-4b4335b6a815.jpg?v=1602777669"},{"product_id":"seed-potato-kerrs-pink","title":"Seed Potato 'Kerr's Pink'","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for growing in Grow-Sacks and veg plots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for boiling or mashing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhibition-worthy potatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Kerr’s Pink’ is definitely a variety to feature in your plot.

The extra green growth encourages more potatoes to form underground, meaning crops will be bigger than a lot of other varieties. Mound the surrounding soil halfway up the stems every time plants grow an extra 5-10cm. This will keep the potatoes in the soil healthy, and prevent them from turning green.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marshalls Garden","offers":[{"title":"1 x 1kg Tubers","offer_id":32425039331379,"sku":"10506818","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 2kg Tubers","offer_id":56333669990779,"sku":"10506678","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/8100\/8691\/files\/10506818-Potato-Kerrs-Pink-IH-01.jpg?v=1726475159"},{"product_id":"seed-potato-heidi-red","title":"Seed Potato 'Heidi Red'","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistance to fungal diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for salads and boiled potatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaincrop Potato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerman Speciality variety with medium blight resistance.
