Casablanca Seed Potatoes 2kg

Casablanca Seed Potatoes are a top choice for gardeners seeking early-season potatoes with a smooth, white skin and waxy, firm flesh. Renowned for their excellent flavour and versatility, these potatoes are perfect for boiling, steaming, or making delicious potato salads. Known for their disease resistance and high yield, Casablanca offers gardeners a reliable and rewarding crop.

When to Plant:
Plant Casablanca potatoes in early spring, from late March to April, once the soil has warmed up and is no longer waterlogged. Choose a sunny, well-drained location, and prepare the soil by loosening it and adding organic matter to ensure optimal growth. Chitting the seed potatoes before planting, by placing them in a cool, light area for 2-3 weeks, helps promote quicker sprouting.

When to Feed:
Feed Casablanca potatoes with a balanced fertiliser or a specific potato feed. Apply the first feed about 4-6 weeks after planting to encourage healthy growth, and a second feed when the plants begin flowering to boost tuber development and improve yields.

When to Harvest:
Casablanca potatoes are ready for harvest in about 10-12 weeks, typically in June or July, once the plants have flowered and the foliage starts to yellow and die back.

How to Get the Best Results:
To get the best results, ensure consistent watering during dry spells, and keep the soil free from weeds. Hill up the soil around the plants to protect the tubers from sunlight and enhance their yield. Regular care will lead to a bountiful and healthy harvest.
