Potato Desiree (Maincrop Seed Potato) AGM
Product Description
One of Britain’s most popular and best-loved varieties. This red-skinned favourite does well on all soils and its yellow, waxy textured flesh has a lovely flavour.
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 the following:
- 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 8-14 tubers.
- 2.5kg bags, each pack containing approx. 20-35 tubers.
- 5kg bags, each pack containing approx. 20-35 tubers.
