5 Potato Gro-Sacks
1kg (Approx 12-15) Potato Tubers of roast-potato variety ‘Gemson’
75g of Potato Fertiliser

What you need to do

Half-fill Gro-Sack with compost and fertilizer. Plant tubers 10cm (4in) deep from June.
As plants grow add more compost and fertilizer to fill Gro-Sack.
Water regularly and harvest up too late autumn.

A main-crop Maris-Peer cross with outstanding flavor. Produces large yields of smaller tubers that are perfect for steaming and boiling. Delicious served hot or cold.

Whether you choose to grow this autumn-cropping potato variety in open soil on the allotment or in a purpose-made Gro-Sack, you’ll be rewarded with a generous crop of potatoes in autumn that is perfect served hot or cold, making good boiling or steaming.

Protect your potato plants from cold nights by covering them with horticultural fleece. If you are growing them in a Gro-Sack consider bringing them indoors so as long as they are not too heavy, and returning them outdoors by day.

As the stems of your potato plants grow earth up soil around the base of your potato plants periodically. This discourages the edible tubers from greening-up and becoming poisonous.

Harvest from September once the potato plants have flowered.
