Duke of York Seed Potatoes 2kg

Duke of York Seed Potatoes are a well-loved early variety, famous for their crisp, white skin and waxy, firm flesh. With their great flavor and versatility, they are perfect for boiling, steaming, or using in salads. Ideal for gardeners looking for a quick harvest, this variety offers excellent disease resistance and a reliable yield.

When to Plant:
Plant Duke of York potatoes in early spring, typically from March to April, once the soil is no longer frosty and has warmed up. Choose a sunny, well-drained location and prepare the soil by ensuring it is loose and fertile. Chitting the seed potatoes before planting, by placing them in a cool, light space for 2-3 weeks, encourages faster sprouting.

When to Feed:
Feed your Duke of York potatoes with a balanced fertiliser or one specifically designed for potatoes. Apply the first feed 4-6 weeks after planting to support strong growth, and a second feed when the plants begin flowering to promote healthy tuber development.

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

How to Get the Best Results:
For the best results, ensure consistent watering during dry spells and keep the soil weed-free. Hill up the soil around the plants to protect the tubers from sunlight and enhance yield. Regular care will ensure a plentiful, healthy crop.
