JBA Seed Potatoes - Pentland Javelin - First Early

A tasty and popular first early choice, the Pentland Javelin potato is a great all rounder variety; although good for making chips, roasting and mashing, this variety really shines when boiled, baked or used in salads.

With a waxy texture and white flesh, this white-skinned potato produces a high yield of short, oval shaped tubers and is easy to grow, making it a wonderful choice for beginner 'grow your own' gardeners. If you're short of space in your garden, Pentland Javelin seed potatoes can be grown in potato sacks or containers.

Key Information:

• Short, oval shaped tubers
• White skinned with a tasty white flesh
• Good disease resistance to common scab and blackleg, and to slugs

Advice & Tips:

• Soon after purchasing, empty the seed potatoes into a shallow box, such as an egg box, and store them in a cool area protected from frost.
• Two weeks before planting out, move the seed potatoes to a light area so that they can produce a strong, thick sprout - make sure they are rose eye upwards. When exposed to light, the potatoes will turn green - this is normal.
• When planted into the ground, each potato should be approximately 25cm from the next, with rows spaced approximately 60cm apart. The potatoes should be approximately 15cm into the ground.
