Taylors Bulbs Salad Potato Collection - Second Early Seed Potatoes

This seed potato variety pack from Taylors Bulbs is a great way to grow a selection of potatoes this Spring, all of which are the perfect choice for use in salads once harvested in the summer months. 

This collection contains the following second early seed potato varieties:

Charlotte Potato - With a distinct nutty flavour, this variety is a great choice if you have a smaller garden as it can grow in pots and containers.

Nicola Potato- Blight resistant with a buttery flavour, Nicola potatoes are a tasty all rounder which can be used in salads and for boiling.

Maris Peer Potato - The waxy flesh of a Maris Peer potato makes it a firm favourite in many kitchens and can be used for chipping and roasting purposes, as well as tasting great in salads.

Key Information:

• Thirty second early seed potatoes
• Pack contains Charlotte, Nicola and Maris Peer varieties

• Planting out should take place as soon as the risk of frost has passed (March onwards)

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.
