Leave at least 30cm between lines to allow growing space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\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\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003eCarefully remove the potatoes from the plant and wash well before use in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Pack of 10 or 2kg bag (16-28 tubers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to plant: March, April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to harvest: June, July, August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting depth: 10cm\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb spacing: 20cm\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil type: Moist but well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil pH: Acid, Alkaline, Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight: Full sun, Partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Tolerant of low temperatures but will not survive being frozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylors Bulbs","offers":[{"title":"2kg","offer_id":56082243879237,"sku":"1013597","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pack of 10","offer_id":56082243912005,"sku":"1214163","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/14834f2b-Taylors-Nadine-Seed-Potatoes-2kg-Bag-Product-Image.jpg?v=1761657478","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/nadine-second-early-seed-potatoes","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
