Christmas Cropping Potato Collection

Collection includes 3x 1kg packs, one each of the following varieties: Charlotte, Pentland Javelin and Maris Peer. 1kg (approx 8-14 tubers).

Potatoes are one of the most rewarding crops to grow, producing so much from so little. The smell of freshly dug soil as you lift them is unbeatable, as is their 'just harvested' taste. Savour freshly dug new potatoes from late autumn into winter - imagine lifting them first thing on Christmas morning! These late croppers produce slightly smaller yields than main season crops but if anything, this makes you appreciate them all the more!
The varieties listed have been kept in a cool store to stop them chitting but, once removed from our store in mid July, they quickly come into delayed growth. Planted in late July, they will crop from October and with a little straw protection, through to Christmas.
Collection includes 1kg tubers each of Charlotte AGM, Maris Peer and Pentland Javelin.

Charlotte Traditionally a favourite salad potato and now a wonderful second cropping variety. Charlotte is lovely as a 'new potato' and wonderful cold in salads, it stays firm when cooked and can be sautéed or even roasted.

Potato Pentland Javelin - Pentland Javelin is one of the most disease-resistant potatoes. It gives very good crops of smooth skinned, white fleshed, round potatoes.
