Potatoes
Whether you have a preference for first early potatoes, second early potatoes, salad/baby potatoes or main croppers, we can help. We supply certified seed potatoes by variety. We also offer sweet potato plants, grown here at our nursery in Kent.
As with our vegetable seed and plants, all the potatoes we supply have been selected for their excellent flavour and growing characteristics, ensuring that your home-grown produce is both fresh and tasty.
Potatoes have a lot of history, going back to ancient times! Whilst they are thought to originate from Peru, Bolivia and Chile they were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the late sixteenth century. Potatoes are high in potassium, with their skins containing Vitamin C and insoluble fibres and polyphenols, so don't forget to leave the skins on and eat those too!
Sweet potatoes love a warm position so are best grown under cover (polytunnel or greenhouse), they are high in Vitamin A, C, B6 and potassium.
Don't worry if your not local to us we an always deliver them to your door, anywhere in the UK but of course if you live near you are welcome to collect (but please arrange this with us before you travel).
