  • Kestrel Seed Potatoes (Second Early)

    £4.99
    (10 Tubers)

    Good taste, and good slug resistance

    Kestrel is a great looking potato, but its real qualities come in the form of flavour and slug-resistance. It is a particularly good choice for those with heavy, clay-type soils. With fun purple and white patchy skin, and very versatile in the kitchen, this is definitely one of our favourites. Be aware, it doesn’t do brilliantly if the soil dries out, so if you live in a drier part of the country or have sandy soil, you’ll need to water frequently (or go for a different variety!) Usually ready to harvest in July.

    Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10

    Variety: Kestrel

    In the kitchen: Great for boiling, mash, chips, roast

  • Wilja Seed Potatoes (Second Early)

    £4.99
    (10 Tubers)

    Produces high yields of large potatoes

    Wilja is a great all-rounder.  It is a second early, so should be ready to harvest in July assuming conditions are favourable. It’s one of those varieties that is great for roasting, for chips, and for jacket potatoes, and it has a good, slightly earthy (but not overpowering) flavour.

    Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10

    Variety: Wilja

    In the kitchen: Great for boiling

  • Maris Peer Seed Potatoes (Second Early)

    £4.99
    (10 Tubers)

    A trusted favourite & good for planting late…
    This amazingly popular variety produces reliably regular round shaped and medium sized potatoes. They will normally be ready to harvest in July, and since the texture remains firm they are particularly well suited to boiling. One of the things we like about them is that you can choose to plant them a bit later in the year for a Christmas crop – if you’d like to do this, store the seed potatoes in a dry paper sack (with a few holes for air circulation) in a cool, dark place and plant them in July. Otherwise, pop them in the ground in March/April after chitting and harvest in July.

    Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10

    Variety: Maris Peer

    In the kitchen: This variety has many uses including boiling for salads, steaming and chipping.
