First Earlies
Generally, First Earlies can be planted from January to March and would be ready to harvest from May to July. However, this is dependant on weather conditions and is likely to vary slightly from season to season. First Early potatoes should be planted in rows, about 1ft (30cm) between tubers and 2ft (60cm) between rows.
First Early Potatoes are the first of the year and take between 10 weeks from planting to harvest. They are ideal for growing in tubs and potato planters.
First Early potatoes produce the classic New Potatoes that are so eagerly awaited as first potatoes of the year.
