JBA Seed Potatoes - Wilja- Second Early

JBA Seed Potatoes - Wilja - Second Early

High yielding with great versatility in the kitchen, Wilja seed potatoes are a second early variety which can be harvested in the late summer months.

The flesh of a Wilja potato is creamy and yellow; when cooked, the tubers hold their shape well and can be used for baking, boiling, mashing and even chipping. This variety can also be grown in containers as they do not require much room to grow, making them a perfect choice for 'grow your own' gardeners with smaller outdoor spaces.

Key Information:

• Light yellow skin with a yellow flesh
• High yielding variety with a consistent size and colour

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.
