Leave at least 30cm between lines to allow growing space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePrior to planting, encourage Seed Potatoes to sprout by placing them on a cool, bright windowsill for 4-6 weeks. This process is known as ‘chitting’ and will help prepare the potato tuber for going in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOnce planted, ‘earth up’ the potatoes by drawing the soil up around new shoots to protect them from frost damage and prolong the growing time. Earthing up also protects developing potatoes from sunlight which causes them to turn green and poisonous. Keep potatoes well-watered during warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvesting Guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen ready to harvest, cut back haulms (plant stalks) to ground level before gently lifting the plant up with a garden fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCarefully remove the potatoes from the plant and wash well before use in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePack sizes: 2kg bag or a Taster Pack of 5 Tubers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen to plant: March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen to harvest: July, August, September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePlanting depth: 10cm\/4″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBulb spacing: 20cm\/8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSoil type: Moist but well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSoil pH: Acid, Alkaline, Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSunlight: Full sun, Partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHardiness: Tolerant of low temperatures but will not survive being frozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kapiteyn","offers":[{"title":"2kg","offer_id":56521598566725,"sku":"1072660","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":56521598599493,"sku":"1072662","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/albert-bartlett-2kg-osprey-seed-potatoes.jpg?v=1764581753","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/albert-bartlett-osprey-second-early-seed-potatoes","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
