Second early potatoes should be planted up from March to late May and the small, new potatoes will be ready to harvest in approximately 13 weeks. They will benefit from 'chitting'before planting and can be grown either in the ground or in potato patio planters.

This delicious second early potato shows good resistance to Golden Eelworm and Scab. Enjoy smaller tubers as boiled salad potatoes that can be eaten hot or cold, but save the larger ones for summer baking potatoes with a fabulous flavour. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Saxon' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. After hearing me decry modern varieties for lack of flavour, one of the promoters insisted I tried ‘Saxon’. It is very pleasant and creamy. I ate my words (as well!). It is an attractive, high yielding, disease resistant, general purpose variety from PBI (now Cygnet PB). To avoid gaps, ‘Saxon’ needs to be planted in mild conditions. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Bonnie' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. This is a high yielding, uniform, attractive variety from Nigel Starling of Cygnet PB. It is disease resistant, general purpose and can be relied upon to produce summer bakers. It lives up to its name, has done well in consumer tests and has quickly established itself in the garden trade. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Nicola' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum Second early. Close grown ‘Nicola’, ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Maris Peer’ have become popular in recent decades to supply the demand for small, firm, waxy salad/ boiling potatoes with flavour. ‘Nicola’ is yellow fleshed, eelworm resistant and grows long if given space. It used to be blight resistant but recent strains have changed this. Many new varieties are 'designed' for Nicola’s niche but usually lack the flavour. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
