Ultimate Second Cropping Potato Kit

Collection includes 9 planters and 3x 1kg potato nets, one each of the following varieties: Charlotte, Pentland Javelin and Maris Peer. 1kg (approx 8-14 tubers).

Enjoy delicious new potatoes from your garden with these second cropping spuds. These specially selected tubers are put into temperature controlled storage to keep them dormant to the middle of summer so that they can be planted in late July and August to give you a crop which is later. They are ready in two months from planting but crops can then be left in the soil until you want them - they can even be used for fresh, home-grown spuds for Christmas lunch!

Plant the tubers as soon as received, they do not need to be chitted. Keep them frost-free to ensure good crop, if grown in bags move them to frost-free position. They will be ready to start lifting by the end of October/November. Best kept in the ground or container until just before needed.

This super saver collection contains 3kg of tubers (1kg of each variety) of best available varieties, ideal for late planting:

Pentland Javelin - Potato Pentland Javelin - Pentland Javelin is one of the most disease-resistant potatoes. It gives very good crops of smooth skinned, white fleshed, round potatoes.

Maris Peer - The traditional variety is ideal for use hot or cold, and perfect for boiling, chips and wedges. Maris Peer holds its colour and structure well in cooking. Firm, creamy flesh under a smooth yellow egg-shaped skin makes them one of our tastiest potatoes.

Charlotte - The French-bred, highly popular potato is the salad variety of choice of many discerning chefs. The smooth skinned potato tubers have a light yellow flesh which has a wonderful flavour and delightfully waxy texture. A further advantage of potato Charlotte is its resistance to both blight and scab.

PLUS, you'll receive 3 packs (9 planters) of patio planters for your potatoes!
