Desiree Seed Potatoes are a classic, popular maincrop variety, known for their distinctive red skin and smooth, creamy flesh. These versatile potatoes have a waxy texture, making them perfect for mashing, roasting, or using in soups and stews. With their excellent disease resistance and reliable yield, Desiree is a great choice for gardeners seeking a hardy and productive crop.

When to Plant:
Plant Desiree potatoes in early to mid-spring, typically from March to April, once the soil has warmed up and the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, well-drained location and prepare the soil by loosening it and adding organic matter. Chit the seed potatoes before planting by placing them in a cool, light area for 2-3 weeks to encourage sprouting and ensure strong plants.

When to Feed:
Feed Desiree potatoes with a balanced fertiliser or a potato-specific feed. Apply the first dose 4-6 weeks after planting to support healthy foliage growth. A second feed when the plants start flowering will promote better tuber development and a higher yield.

When to Harvest:
Desiree potatoes are typically ready for harvest in 14-16 weeks, from late summer to early autumn (August to September), once the foliage begins to yellow and die back.

How to Get the Best Results:
For the best results, ensure consistent watering, particularly during dry spells, and keep the soil free from weeds. Hill up the soil around the plants to protect the tubers from sunlight and encourage a larger yield. Regular care will lead to a healthy, bountiful crop.
