Potato Maris Piper (Maincrop Seed Potato) AGM

This is the one the fish and chips shops love! High yields of eelworm-resistant tubers with a creamy white, floury flesh are also a fine choice for roasting and baking.

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 sizes:

- 1kg: approx 8-14 tubers 

- 2.5kg: approx 20 tubers

- 5kg: approx 40-70 tubers
