JBA Seed Potatoes - Sagitta - Second Early

Ready to harvest in the late summer months if planted in March, the Sagitta seed potato produces large, oval-shaped tubers that have a yellow skin and flesh. Although great for chipping, this variety is highly versatile and can also be used for baking, boiling and mashing.

Key Information:

• Oval shaped tubers
• Yellow skin with a light yellow flesh
• Perfect for chips but can also produce a fluffy mash

Advice & Tips:

• Dig over the area you wish to plant your potatoes, removing any weeds.
• Create shallow ridges in the ground approximately 60cm apart, planting the seed potatoes into the ridge approximately 12cm deep and 22cm apart.
• When the plants have grown to approximately 20cm in height, draw soil up around the lower leaves to protect the newly forming potatoes
• For an earlier harvest, potatoes can be chitted before planting - to do this, place the seed potatoes into an open container, such as an egg box, and leave in a light and airy position, protected from frost, to allow the potatoes to grow small shoots. Be careful not to damage the chits when planting into the ground.
