‘Charlotte’ – One of the most popular salad potatoes in the UK, the instantly recognisable, oval-shaped tubers can grow much larger than other salad varieties and have a firm yellow waxy flesh. Perfect for potato salads or boiled and dripping in butter.
‘Pentland Javelin’ – An early variety, producing lots of small, tasty potatoes. Ideal for boiling and also for roasting and baking.
‘Desiree’ – Creamy-yellow flesh with red skin, great for chips, roasting, jacket potatoes or simple boiling.
We?ve also thrown in 1kg of Organic Potato Fertiliser to ensure you give your potatoes the best growing environment available for heavy crops of tasty spuds.
Care Information
- Start with a little compost in the base of your container, about 6-7in (15-17cm). Place the tubers onto the compost and half fill the pot. Keep some horticultural fleece handy, should cold nights threaten.
- The green shoots will eventually poke up through the compost, and when they do, cover them with another layer of compost, water and feed. Keep on adding as the plants grow until you reach the top of the pot or bag. First and second earlies will grow quicker than maincrop potatoes which are in the pots for longer, so require more regular watering.
- In the ground, first earlies will take around 14 weeks to mature, second earlies around 16 weeks, but in warm containers you can knock a couple of weeks off that, particularly if you like to eat them small and tender.
- New potatoes are at their best eaten immediately, so pull out only what you want for one meal, leaving the rest to grow on.
