Height and spread: 60cm (24").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. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 30cm (12"). Rows should be set out 60cm (2') 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: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSupplied as Supplied as Potato 'Pentland Javelin' 1x 5KGHarvest period – June to JulyImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
