Availability: Out of stock
Maris Bard First Early Seed potatoes produce smooth, round to oval tubers with bright white skin, prized for being one of the very earliest cropping varieties and maturing faster than most other first earlies. This rapid growth makes the Irish Maris Bard a favourite for gardeners wanting an exceptionally early harvest with dependable yields. They are ideal for boiling and baking to enjoy their clean, fresh flavour, while also performing well in salads and as lightly roasted new potatoes.
Go through chitting your Maris Bard Seed potatoes, before planting, by placing them in a cool, light, frost-free position until sturdy shoots develop. Then, proceed to plant the potatoes in drills from March to April, spacing each tuber around 30cm apart and planting them at a depth of approximately 10–15cm, with rows spaced about 60cm wide. As the plants emerge and reach a few inches tall, earth them up by drawing soil around the stems to protect developing tubers and encourage strong growth. Finally, after around 10–12 weeks, your crop will be ready to harvest as delicious first early potatoes.
These strong, scab-resistant seed potatoes are supplied in a pack of 10.
