Grow your own lovely, soft, waxy-textured new potatoes with white skins and flesh that is ideal for boiling as a salad or new potato. 'Pentland Javelin' bulks up slightly later than other first earlies to produce a high yield of delicious potatoes. Easy for all to grow in the garden or in containers on the patio or balcony, this first early variety has good all-round disease resistance, particularly to golden eelworm.Plant first early potato crops from the end of February. 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 first 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.Product Specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 60cm when fully establishedHarvest period: May to JuneImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
