Pentland Javelin Scottish Seed Potatoes are a popular choice for growing your own potatoes, with a delicious flavor and high yield. They are an early maincrop potato that produces high-quality, smooth-skinned, oval-shaped potatoes with a white flesh that is perfect for boiling, baking, or roasting.
The best position for growing Pentland Javelin Scottish Seed Potatoes is in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. It is recommended to plant them in the spring when the soil has warmed up and the risk of frost has passed. Plant the seed potatoes about 10-15cm deep and 30-40cm apart in rows spaced 60-75cm apart.
The harvesting time for Pentland Javelin Scottish Seed Potatoes is typically in late summer or early autumn, around 15-20 weeks after planting. The plants should be allowed to die back naturally before harvesting the potatoes. You can either gently dig them up with a fork or use a mechanical harvester.
To feed Pentland Javelin Scottish Seed Potatoes, it is recommended to use a balanced fertilizer that contains equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This should be applied before planting and then again once the plants have emerged. It’s important not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of potato production. Additionally, it’s important to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, throughout the growing season.
