Late Season Patio Potato Starter Kit Starter Kit (3 Potato Buckets + 5 tubers each of 3 varieties) - Seed Potatoes
Late Season Patio Potato Starter Kit Starter Kit (3 Potato Buckets + 5 tubers each of 3 varieties) – Seed Potatoes £25.95
Grow some mouth-watering late season new potatoes on your very own doorstep with our special Patio Potato Starter Kit comprising 3 Potato Buckets and 5 tubers each of Maris Peer, Carlingford and Bambino. Potato Buckets – Height 40cm (15¾”), diameter 40cm (15¾”); Maris Peer – A reliable and well known favourite yielding mellow-tasting round white tubers. Eat them warm or save and use in salads as they will not discolour after cooking. Resistant to scab which can be a problem in dry, late summer soils; Carlingford – The most popular and widely grown ‘second cropper’. Carlingford performs reliably from late plantings giving good yields of round, smooth-skinned creamy-white fleshed tubers. These boil beautifully bringing that true ‘new potato’ taste to your meals!; Bambino – A high-yielding variety that shows good all-round disease resistance, making it ideal for those who prefer not to use chemicals in the garden. The tubers are round, medium-sized, with creamy-white, very tasty flesh.Late season (second crop) potatoes are grown from tubers which have been stored at a precise low temperature to keep them dormant until they are sent to you in July/early August. Plant them straight away (no need to ‘chit’ first) and they will grow away rapily in the warm summer soil.Your first potatoes can be dug from late October, but remember to leave some in the ground undisturbed, so you can enjoy that mouth-watering, just harvested, ‘new potato’ taste on Christmas Day!. Starter Kit (3 Potato Buckets + 5 tubers each of 3 varieties). Full growing instructions included.. . . .

water lily
water lily £19.99
Position: full sunDepth of water: 75-120cm (30-48in)Rate of growth: fast-growingUltimate spread: 220cm (84in)Height above surface: 0-10cm (0-4in) Flowering period: June to SeptemberHardiness: fully hardyLarge, slightly scented, magnolia-like, white flowers with several ruffs of upright, pointed petals and orange centres float on a carpet of overlapping, mid-green leaves. This vigorous water lily flowers earlier than other varieties. It needs plenty of space, so makes an excellent choice for a lake or large, deep, wildlife pond, where the leaves create a shady underwater habitat for native fish and amphibians. The shade cast by the foliage also helps to check the spread of algae. Garden care: Plant firmly in a hessian-lined aquatic planting basket filled with aquatic compost. Apply a 2.5cm (1in) top-dressing of pea shingle or gravel to prevent the top layer of the planting medium from clouding the water. The crown of the plant should protrude slightly above the surface of the planting basket.
