A perfect choice for a range of uses in the kitchen such as baking, boiling, steaming, roasting or frying! The tubers have shallow eyes making it easy to peel. 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\"\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).
