Duke of York was a traditional favourite for many. Not available to us for several years, it is now back in our range where it firmly belongs! Much valued for its waxy pale-yellow tubers that have a super-rich flavour, also try leaving a few roots to develop into a quality general purpose option. A classic first early, ideal to boil straight from harvest - perfect for new potatoes with a spring of mint. A number of the seed potato varieties in our range are classic heritage varieties that have been favourites of ours for many years -some we've kept in the range since way back in 1908 when D.T. Brown was first established in 1908! Some heritage varieties have been steadily gaining in popularity with our customers in recent years - and we believe there are good reasons for them making such a comeback or remaining so popular. Heritage varieties have unbeatable flavours and reliability of course, and many gardeners like the fact that there's a story behind the varieties they grow.Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There's the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes. All potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from chitting prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1 to ½cm (½ to 1in). Potatoes are delivered in 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 8-14 tubers.","published_at":"2023-05-17T20:13:42+01:00","created_at":"2023-05-17T20:13:42+01:00","vendor":"Mr Fothergill's","type":"SEED POTATOES","tags":["Collection Vegetables to plant in February","Collection: Sale","Collection: Veg Plants in January","Collection:all products (excluding drop ship HARDWARE)","Collection:First Early","Collection:First Early Seed Potatoes","Collection:Heritage Potato Varieties","Collection:MRF all products exc all hardware","collection:potatoes_99p_sale","harvest:july","harvest:june","plant type:potatoes","potatoes:no kits or colls","product family:potatoes","product family:seed potatoes","product type:tubers","sow outdoors:april","sow outdoors:march"],"price":99,"price_min":99,"price_max":99,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":855,"compare_at_price_min":855,"compare_at_price_max":855,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45386113089847,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"56150","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Potato Duke of York (First Early Seed Potato)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":99,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":855,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/mr-fothergills.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/POT-335z.jpg?v=1747153050"],"featured_image":"\/\/mr-fothergills.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/POT-335z.jpg?v=1747153050","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Potato Duke of York (First Early Seed Potato)","id":65800295645562,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"\/\/mr-fothergills.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/POT-335z.jpg?v=1747153050"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/mr-fothergills.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/POT-335z.jpg?v=1747153050","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"A long running heritage variety, highly regarded since its establishment in 1891.

Pear shaped with bright white flesh and a smooth skin; its floury texture lends itself to creating the perfect roast spud. Also a great variety boiled or steamed whole in their skins for a perfect ‘new potato’ flavour - superb hot with butter or cold with salads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePotatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There’s the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from ‘chitting’ prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1½ to 2½cm (½ to 1in).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of our seed potatoes are certified \"Safe Haven\" or equivalent status. The Safe Haven Certification Scheme provides protection for the British potato industry and its customers from bacterial ring rot and other harmful organisms like brown rot and soft rots caused by Dickeya species. The scheme ensures that all seed is only grown from Safe Haven sourced seed or nuclear stock and this helps protect against any pests and diseases which affect potato and are not found in Britain. All our customers can therefore be assured of first class quality seed potatoes for their gardens and allotments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePotatoes are delivered in 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 15-20 tubers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}]
