This Patio Potato Growing Kit means that anyone can now grow delicious, fresh potatoes. You don’t even need a garden as a patio, balcony or courtyard will do! Just add compost and water and you’ll soon be harvesting your first new potatoes.
We have included three popular varieties: ‘Charlotte’, ‘Pentland Javelin’ and ‘Desiree’:
‘Charlotte’ – One of the most popular salad potatoes in the UK, the instantly recognisable, oval-shaped tubers can grow much larger than other salad varieties and have a firm yellow waxy flesh. Perfect for potato salads or boiled and dripping in butter.
‘Pentland Javelin’ – An early variety, producing lots of small, tasty potatoes. Ideal for boiling and also for roasting and baking.
‘Desiree’ – Creamy-yellow flesh with red skin, great for chips, roasting, jacket potatoes or simple boiling.
These special seed potatoes have been held in cold store until now and will grow rapidly once planted – right up to the end July to give you ?new? potatoes through autumn and even up to Christmas.
This is the perfect way to grow your own potatoes and what’s even better is it requires no back-breaking digging whatsoever!
The Heavy Duty 30 Litre Pots can be used again and again and the Organic Potato Fertiliser can be used all around your vegetable garden. Potatoes will be packed in the bottom pot, underneath the other two, in order to protect them.
Care Information
- Start with a little compost in the base of your container, about 6-7in (15-17cm). Place the tubers onto the compost and half fill the pot. Keep some horticultural fleece handy, should cold nights threaten.
- The green shoots will eventually poke up through the compost, and when they do, cover them with another layer of compost, water and feed. Keep on adding as the plants grow until you reach the top of the pot or bag.
First and second earlies will grow quicker than maincrop potatoes which are in the pots for longer, so require more regular watering. - In the ground, first earlies will take around 14 weeks to mature, second earlies around 16 weeks, but in warm containers you can knock a couple of weeks off that, particularly if you like to eat them small and tender.
- New potatoes are at their best eaten immediately, so pull out only what you want for one meal, leaving the rest to grow on.
