Grow your own sensational ‘Kestrel ‘potatoes in the garden and you can harvest fabulous fresh potatoes in July and August! The gardeners' favourite second early variety, ‘Kestrel’ produces consistently sized and shaped tubers with attractive smooth skins and violet eyes. This easy to grow variety shows good slug resistance, golden eelworm and partial white eelworm resistance. For growing unmarked exhibition quality tubers we recommend using our exhibitor growing bags.Plant second early potato crops from March. Prior to planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (10C/ 50F) to allow them to sprout. When growing second early potatoes in the ground avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position in full sun on moist well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 37cm (15"). Rows should be set out 75cm (2', 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. When shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound up soil around the shoots leaving just a few cm showing. Repeat this process after a further 3 weeks.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight & Spread: Up to 60cm when fully establishedHarvest period: July to AugustImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
