Potato Tuber Casablanca

Description

A delicious variety of first early potato from Scotland, with a beautiful smooth white skin and cream flesh. A perfect variety for salad, boiled, chips, roast and baked. Apparently the new 'chefs dream' potato, we'll let the chefs amongst you decide (but they are very regularly grow, cooked and eaten in our house!) An excellent alternative to Jersey Royals.

Good disease resistant. Very approximately 10 potato tubers to a kilo!

• First Early.
• Good disease resistance.
• Prefers a full sun position.
• Prefers a free draining soil.
• Plant February-March (depending on seasons). Avoid frosts.

• Chit tubers by placing 'eye' face up in egg boxes or shallow trays and standing in a warm light location.
• Once small green shoots (or chits) appear move to a cooler location for a few weeks before planting out.
• Best planted out February - March. Later plantings will be fine but yield may be smaller.
• Dig trenches approximately 5" (12 cm) deep and 2' 6" (75 cm) apart.
• Press tubers into the base of the trench 12" (30 cm) apart with chits facing up and cover with soil.
• Water in and keep the crop well watered in dry spells.
• When the haulm (top growth of the plants) reaches 8" (20 cm) earth up around the plants leaving just the top 4" (10 cm) showing - repeat again later if required.
• Foliage reaches approximately (60 cm) tall with a spread of (45 cm).
• Potatoes should be ready for harvest approximately 10 weeks after planting (although this variety has been harvested from 62 days!)
