Famous for their unique oval shape, Nicola seed potatoes produce tubers with a golden skin and creamy, waxy flesh, making them an excellent choice for boiling and salads. Resistant to diseases like common scab, potato viruses Y, and leaf roll, these potatoes are known for their durability. Ideally suited for late planting, they typically reach harvest readiness 15-22 weeks after planting, making them a favoured option for festive Christmas periods.

Planting
After purchase, carefully empty seed potato contents into shallow boxes or trays. Egg boxes or apple trays are ideal. Protect from frost and store in a cool area. Two weeks before you want to plant your potatoes, you should move them into a light area of about 10°C to produce a strong, thick sprout and make sure they are rose eye upwards. The potatoes will turn green when exposed to the light, but do not worry, as this is normal.
Your potatoes should be planted in drills that are 28′′ (70cm) apart in each row. The potatoes should be planted 12-15″ (30-37cm) apart from each other in your drills. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards and planted at a depth of between 4-6″ (10-15cm).

Please note: Harvest times are subject to weather and climate. Harvest fully mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry, and dark place to ensure their longevity, with the potential for storage lasting several months. A helpful tip during harvesting is to eliminate all foliage and small potatoes from the soil, discarding them to prevent diseases from affecting the next year’s crop.
