Phureja's Potatoes have an excellent flavour and cook in a third less time than standard varieties - flavour and economy! The yield may not be  the best but the taste certainly compensates. Phureja’s potatoes benefit from a longer growing period than other varieties, ideally planted in warm soil at the end of March and harvested in September.

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.
