Taylors Bulbs - Wilja - Second Early Seed Potatoes

Taylors Bulbs Wilja - Second Early Seed Potatoes

Full of flavour with a creamy yellow flesh, the Wilja variety can be enjoyed over a long period of time thanks to their resistance to potato rot and other diseases. The long yellow tubers hold their shape well once cooked, and are great for a wide range of culinary uses such as boiling, baking, mashing and roasting.

This pack of ten seed potatoes by Taylors Bulbs is perfect for gardeners who wish to grow their own potatoes in containers or on their patio, as this particular variety does not require much room to grow.

Key Information:

• Ten second early seed potatoes
• Grown in Britain
• Planting out should take place as soon as the risk of frost has passed (March onwards)

Advice & Tips:

• Dig over the area you wish to plant your potatoes, removing any weeds.
• Create shallow ridges in the ground approximately 60cm apart, planting the seed potatoes into the ridge approximately 12cm deep and 22cm apart.
• When the plants have grown to approximately 20cm in height, draw soil up around the lower leaves to protect the newly forming potatoes
• For an earlier harvest, potatoes can be chitted before planting - to do this, place the seed potatoes into an open container, such as an egg box, and leave in a light and airy position, protected from frost, to allow the potatoes to grow small shoots. Be careful not to damage the chits when planting into the ground.
