JBA Seed Potatoes - Rocket - First Early

JBA Seed Potatoes - Rocket - First Early

The Rocket seed potato variety produces a substantial crop of white skinned and uniform-shaped potatoes early in the summer, making them a wonderful choice for boiling and for use in salads.

Although this variety has a good resistance to common potato diseases, Rocket potato tubers are prone to cracking whilst in the ground - to avoid this, it is recommended to lift the potatoes before they reach full maturity.

Key Information:

• Versatile potato, but best when used in salads or when boiled
• White skin and flesh with a mild taste
• Produces a substantial yield of uniform, round tubers

Advice & Tips:

• Soon after purchasing, empty the seed potatoes into a shallow box, such as an egg box, and store them in a cool area protected from frost.
• Two weeks before planting out, move the seed potatoes to a light area so that they can produce a strong, thick sprout - make sure they are rose eye upwards. When exposed to light, the potatoes will turn green - this is normal.
• When planted into the ground, each potato should be approximately 25cm from the next, with rows spaced approximately 60cm apart. The potatoes should be approximately 15cm into the ground.
