Maincrop Potatoes
Main crop potatoes (for those that don't know) are what they say in their name - your main crop. They usually take 15-20 weeks before you can harvest them, usually August to October time.
These potatoes usually grow larger than first earlies (so you will need larger pots if growing in containers) and have a thicker skin and make good baking, roasting or mashing potatoes (good for chips too!) These potatoes will store for Winter use and will grow well in the ground.
Our certified potato tubers are sent from our British nursery in Kent.
