Potato Gemson (Second Early Seed Potato)

Known for its very high yields of small, round and oval tubers, Gemson is quickly becoming a firm favourite. Bred from the much loved Maris Peer, tubers have smooth, white skin and firm, creamy flesh – perfect for steaming and boiling. A lovely salad spud with excellent disease resistance.

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.
