Harvest
This early potato variety produces oval tubers with attractive yellow skin and creamy light-yellow flesh. Its high yields make it a reliable choice for home growers, while its heritage status ensures it has stood the test of time.
With natural blight resistance and certification from the Soil Association, this organic potato is ideal for sustainable growing. Expect harvests in mid to late spring, providing you with delicious potatoes that are perfect for boiling or steaming.
Grow directly in the soil or in potato grow bags for those with limited space. Even a patio or balcony can offer you a productive potato crop!
How To Grow
Chitting’ seed potatoes before you plant will help get them off to a flying start. Simply place the tubers in a cool, light place to encourage them to produce shoots.
This process is recommended for first earlies, along with second earlies and salad varieties, but not so much for main crop potatoes.
Potatoes grow in most soil types but do especially well in a well-drained loam that’s not too heavy.
Ideally, prepare the ground during late autumn or early winter so that the frosts can break down the soil and dig in plenty of well-rotted organic matter, such as compost or manure, to create a reasonable depth. Avoid planting potatoes on ground that’s previously been used for this crop within the past three or four years to avoid the build-ups of pests, such as wire worm, and diseases.
Dig a V-shaped trench, or use a trowel to make individual deep holes, and place the potatoes inside. Rows running north to south will allow the sun’s rays to warm both sides of the crop.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Seed Potatoes
Our seed potatoes are meticulously graded to sizes ranging from 35mm x 35mm to 55mm x 55mm. This grading ensures that the smallest seed potatoes in the sample are unable to fall through a 35mm square, offering you consistent quality. While more modern varieties tend to have a more uniform size, our focus on unique and heritage varieties means you may encounter greater size variability within each pack. Rest assured, we will always provide the stated weight in your order.
The harvest you achieve will ultimately depend on your specific growing conditions. Generally, smaller potatoes yield smaller crops, while larger ones produce more abundant harvests. However, it’s important to note that regardless of size, 1kg of seed potatoes will yield a comparable overall harvest, whether the seed potatoes are small or large.
