£14.12

About this item SHARPES EXPRESS FIRST EARLY SEED POTATOES (2kg): One of Jamieson Brothers’ Heritage varieties of ‘New’ potatoes, Sharpes Express are a great tasting spud and good potato to plant for an early harvest. First Early varieties generally are ready to harvest 10 – 12 weeks after planting, with the traditional planting time being March – April. Sharpes potatoes has good resistance to common scab. PERFECT FOR BOILING, ROASTING & SALADS: Potatoes are a wonderful staple in our diets, but the variety really does make all the difference. Sharpes Express potatoes are a Heritage variety and have an excellent flavour when harvested early. With tubers that are long and oval, Sharpes Express is a white skinned variety with pale lemon coloured flesh. A great all-round potato in the kitchen to make mashed potato, roasties or to accompany a salad. EASY TO PLANT: Plant in gardens, allotments or in open fields. When planting, set your tubers 10 inches apart so they have space to grow; for planting indoors, put 3 tubers in a 45-litre planting bag. First Early varieties benefit from a nitrogenous fertiliser when you dig them up for the second time. Choose soil which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be well drained and not have been manured for at least one year. SEED POTATOES FROM THE SEED POTATO EXPERTS: Before planting your seed potatoes, we recommend “chitting” – allowing the potatoes to sprout – 6 weeks beforehand. Once your tubers have started to sprout, they are ready to be planted ahead of a delicious harvest. Keep your seed potatoes out of extreme weather conditions and temperature changes prior to planting to ensure strong potatoes. Dunk each tuber in water prior to planting. FROM THE GROUND UPWARDS – SEED POTATOES GROWN IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1895: Jamieson Brothers were established in 1895 where we began selling our potatoes in 50kg bags on a horse and cart. Our seed potatoes are UK grown and still hand sorted in Scotland. From seed to plate, Jamieson Brothers sees the seed potatoes through the entire harvest. We ship to your doorstep so you can enjoy growing seed potatoes in your home, allotment, or farm.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

Each potato should be 35cm from the next, with rows spaced 70cm apart. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards. Holes should be 15cm deep.

HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS

  • First Earlies: Harvest July – end of August. We recommend that you eat these potatoes fresh. Boil and eat as new potatoes for that extra fresh taste. Storing first earlies not recommended.
  • Second Earlies: Harvest August – September. Dig up mature potatoes and use fresh. These can also be stored in a cool, dry and dark location like a maincrop.
  • Maincrop: Harvest September – end of October. Dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry and dark location. Potatoes can be stored for several months.

Grown from cultivated stock.

Jamieson Brothers: Potato Planting Top Tips

  • When harvesting, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil and discard, to avoid diseases on next year’s crop
  • Plant as soon as possible after purchase (dependent on soil temperature)
  • Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting
  • Keep free from frost as potatoes and their foliage are perishable
  • Water well in dry spells
  • Jamieson Brothers seed potatoes are also ideal for gardeners with limited outdoor space. Simply use a planting bag to grow these in your garden or patio.
