2. New Potatoes
Potatoes should be planted 10-15cm (4-6")deep in rows 60cm (2ft)apart (earlies)and 75cm (2 1 /2ft)(maincrop).Place the potatoes with the rose end up 30cm (1ft)apart for earlies and 38- 45cm (15-18")apart for maincrops.Potatoes will grow on most soils and are good ground cleaners.Avoid lime as this will encourage scab and is generally disliked.Blight is the other big problem,this has no cure but can be held in check by regular spraying.All our potatoes are CERTIFIED SEED produced in Scotland,Ireland,Holland,France and England.They have been inspected by DEFRA,or equivalent certification body and passed as Grade AA or higher. We stock a wide range of varieties which we hope will cover all requirements.Many varieties will be in great demand.EARLY ORDERING IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to ensure your first choice is available.WE WILL SUBSTITUTE ANY ITEM IF IT IS FOUND NECESSARY.IF THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE,PLEASE LIST ALTERNATIVES OR MARK YOUR ORDER 'NO SUBSTITUTES '. Most varieties are available from January onwards.To ensure your potatoes arrive in the best possible condition all deliveries will be made by a 2 day service at the charges overleaf.
