Potato Sarpo Una (Second Early Seed Potato)

Different to the rest of the Sarpo family, Una is a second early. Ready to harvest as early as mid-June onwards, it is an ideal variety for potato sacks and pots. This waxy, delicately flavoured variety works perfectly as a salad potato hot or cold, or when harvested late it makes for a great baker. The pink tubers also store well. As expected from all Sarpo varieties, it has excellence resistance to late blight as well as a range of other diseases and drought. 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.
