Our buyer trialled this variety for the first time in 2021 and straight away thought it must go into our range for 2022! Marvel is a farmers’ favourite having been used commercially for a few years and their customers can’t get enough of it. A high yielding maincrop variety with a superb taste and a good resistance to blight. A waxy texture early on, lifted later in the season it becomes flourier making it suitable for chips, baking, mashing and roasting. A great all rounder and stores very well – what more could you want from your main winter storage spud?

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 1½ to 2½cm (½ to 1in).

Potatoes are delivered in 1.5kg bags, each pack containing approx. 15-20 tubers.
