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.
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").

Potato 'Edzell Blue' - Part of the Alan Romans CollectionSolanum tuberosum
Second early. An old second early potato dating back to the early 1900’s. Stunning violet skinned tubers with contrasting white flesh make this a particularly attractive variety. Potato ‘Edzell Blue’ has a delicate flavour and floury texture that can be prone to collapse when boiled, but makes fabulous good chips, mash or roast potatoes. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
