Grow your own delicious potatoes at home with this Complete Patio Potato Growing Selection. Perfect if you are short of space as you can grow these on your patio, balcony, or courtyard. All you need to do is add compost and water and you will be able to harvest your first new potatoes in 10-12 weeks. This kit includes three different potato varieties: Charlotte, Pentland Javelin and Desiree. Includes: 3 varieties of prime quality seed potatoes (each net contains 6 'Turbo' tubers), 3 Heavy Duty 30 Litre Pots and 1kg Organic Potato Fertiliser.
Top Tips

Note: Your seed potatoes will need chitting prior to planting. On receipt, stand them in an egg box in a cool, light room so they can begin chitting (shooting). Leave for 3-4 weeks, and short dark shoots (chits) will emerge. Take care not to damage these when handling or planting.

Keep your potatoes well-watered as they grow - dry conditions will result in a considerably reduced crop.

Care Information
  • Start with a little compost in the base of your container, about 15cm. 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 10 weeks to mature, second earlies around 14 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
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
