Pentland Javelin Seed Potatoes 2kg

Pentland Javelin Seed Potatoes are a popular early-season variety, renowned for their high yield and excellent flavor. Ideal for gardeners seeking an early harvest, these potatoes produce smooth, white-skinned tubers with a firm, waxy texture perfect for boiling or steaming.

When to Plant:
Plant Pentland Javelin potatoes in early spring, around March to April, once the soil has warmed and is no longer waterlogged. Ensure the soil is well-drained and light, as this variety thrives in a sunny location. You can also chit the seed potatoes before planting by placing them in a cool, light spot to sprout.

When to Feed:
Feed your Pentland Javelin potatoes with a balanced fertilizer or potato-specific feed during the growing season. Apply the feed about 4 weeks after planting and again when the plants start flowering to ensure strong growth and a bountiful harvest.

When to Harvest:
These potatoes are typically ready for harvest about 10-12 weeks after planting, in June or July, depending on the growing conditions. Harvest when the plants have flowered and the foliage begins to yellow and die back.

How to Get the Best Results:
For optimal results, ensure the soil is fertile, well-drained, and free from weeds. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, will also help promote healthy tuber development. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, and remove any affected plants to maintain a healthy crop.
