Get ready for the festive season with our Christmas Harvest Collection, featuring three 1kg bags of delightful potato varieties that are perfect for your garden:

• Charlotte: This firm, creamy-yellow potato boasts a mouth-watering flavour, making it ideal for both hot dishes and salads. Plant in July, and you'll enjoy excellent shallow-eyed, long-oval tubers that are 50% bigger than other salad varieties, ready for harvest between November and December.
• Maris Peer: A tasty salad-type potato that shines in hearty meals or as healthy sides, offering versatility in your cooking.
• Jazzy: Known for its impressive yields, Potato Jazzy rewards you with abundant harvests, perfect for creating delicious potato salads, roasties, and mash.

Whether you grow them in open soil on your allotment, in a veggie patch, or a specially designed potato planter, you'll enjoy a bountiful harvest from late autumn to early winter, just in time for Christmas dinner. These seed potatoes thrive in full sun, so choose a sunny spot on your patio, balcony, or garden for optimal growth.

To protect your potatoes from frost, cover them with horticultural fleece as temperatures drop at night. If your planters are lightweight, bring them indoors on cold nights and return them outdoors during the day.

As your potato plants grow, remember to earth up the soil around the base every few days. This practice helps prevent the edible tubers from greening and becoming poisonous. Enjoy the satisfaction of home-grown potatoes this festive season!

Summer Planting Potatoes (also known as Second Cropping or 'Christmas')

These potatoes undergo cold storage from December through to June/July, without the use of chemicals, making them eager to grow in warm summer temperatures. It’s essential to plant them at the optimum time while the days are still long to ensure they reach their full potential.

Although referred to as "Christmas Potatoes," they are ready for harvest in October and will not grow larger after that. If left in the ground or in containers and protected from harsh frosts, they can be stored until Christmas, providing you with delicious homegrown potatoes for your festive dinner!
