Growing Instructions: 

Plant your first early potato crops from late February. Before planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by placing them in a cool, bright spot (around 10°C / 50°F) to encourage sprouting.

For ground planting, avoid areas where potatoes have been grown for the last two years to reduce disease risks. Prepare a sheltered, sunny spot with moist, well-drained soil, and incorporate well-rotted manure. Space seed potatoes 30cm (12") apart in 10cm (4") deep trenches, with rows set 60cm (2') apart. Once shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound soil around them, leaving a few centimetres visible. Repeat this after three weeks.  

If space is limited, consider growing potatoes in bags. Use an 8-litre potato bag filled with quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure. Plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots facing up at a depth of 12cm (5") from the surface. Place the bag in a sunny location and water regularly to keep the compost moist.

With these simple steps, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a bountiful harvest of Foremost Seed Potatoes!
