Not everyone has a large garden, an allotment, a vegetable plot to grow vegetables.

That doesn’t mean you can’t still grow a few home-grown, fresh vegetables when you want them. If you have room for a pot, grow bag, or even a window box.of any size then there is nothing to stop you from having a go at growing your own.

Desiree Potato Seed.

Desiree is a striking red-skinned main crop potato originally bred in the Netherlands. It is a favourite with allotment growers due to its resistance to drought, although it is not so well suited to organic growing.

I live in the wild and wooly highlands of Scotland. I grow Desiree every year (mainly under black plastic) and consistently get a really good yield. Some of the potatoes are enormous. I've still got some left this year stored in the garage and their flavour hasn't been spoilt. I would recommend this potato to anyone who wants a good allround potato.

I have grown these for a number of years and found that they are very slug resistant and make excellent chip potatoes.
