Taylors Bulbs Seed Potatoes - Jacky Second Early Variety

Jacky seed potatoes are the next generation of late blight & disease resistant seed potatoes. They have large consistent yields that produce smooth waxy potatoes. They hold their shape with cooking making them perfect for boiling and potato salads.

Key Information:

• Consistent yields of smooth waxy tubers
• Perfect for small veg patches
• Excellent resistance to light & disease

Advice & Tips:

• Prior to planting, chit the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (10C/ 50F) to allow them to sprout.
• Avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease.
• Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position in full sun on moist well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well rotted manure. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 37cm (15"). Rows should be set out 75cm (2’, 6") apart.
• Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. When shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound up soil around the shoots leaving just a few cm showing. Repeat this process after a further 3 weeks.
