Why Grow Extra Early Potatoes?
Experience the joy of growing your own extra early seed potatoes and enjoy the delicious results with your family. Early varieties like Swifts, Maris Bards and Rockets can all be planted from March and harvested as little as 10 weeks after planting. These tender-skinned new potatoes are best enjoyed freshly dug from the garden.
Early varieties are easy to grow, making them perfect for gardeners of all levels. Whether you’re planting in a traditional garden bed, greenhouse or small patio space, these potatoes adapt well and thrive with minimal effort. Scrape away some soil and perform test digs to gauge their progress as they grow for the best results.
Don’t forget to browse our second early seed potatoes, maincrop seed potatoes, and second cropping seed potatoes too, to enjoy your own home-grown spuds throughout most of the year.
