Why Grow Second Cropping Potatoes?
Second cropping potatoes are seed potatoes that have been cold-stored through summer. This careful climate-controlled storage pauses their development and prevents them from chitting prematurely.
Once removed from storage in June to July, the tubers will be raring to go, ready for immediate planting in your garden, allotment or patio containers. This means you can enjoy a second wave of delicious new potatoes in the autumn, alongside your larger maincrop seed potatoes, just in time for your Christmas potatoes!
Our second cropping seed potatoes are carefully chosen from among our most reliable early and second early seed potatoes. Known for their waxy skins and creamy, firm flesh, they hold their shape well when cooked and are incredibly versatile. Plus, like all home-grown potatoes, they are so much more flavourful than shop-bought varieties.
