Get your early seed potatoes now



Early potatoes are renowned for that new potato taste, full of flavour, and so easy to grow. The yield is lower than maincrop varieties but the flavour is superb and the space needed for a good return is far less. Early varieties are ready for lifting when traditionally potato prices are high.
There is no comparison in terms of flavour between freshly dug new potatoes and those, which are available in greengrocers. New potatoes lose their flavour very quickly after been dug, as they are not fully mature when lifting. The flavour is far better if cooked shortly after lifting from the garden.
