Potato 'Pentland Javelin' (Second Cropping)

Second cropping potatoes are an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy fresh, flavorful new potatoes during the autumn months and right up until Christmas. Growers carefully store these tubers in cold conditions until late summer, allowing for a later planting season that can extend the harvest. To ensure their success, it’s crucial to keep them frost-free, making them particularly well-suited for cultivation in bags within a greenhouse or in protected vegetable plots. This method not only maximizes their growth potential but also allows gardeners to enjoy the delightful taste of freshly harvested potatoes during the cooler months.One standout variety among second cropping potatoes is the 'Pentland Javelin,' which is known for its slightly delayed bulking compared to other first earlies. This characteristic ultimately leads to a high yield, making it a favourite among gardeners seeking both quantity and quality. The 'Pentland Javelin' produces lovely new potatoes with a soft, waxy texture and appealing white skins and flesh, perfect for boiling and serving as a salad or side dish. With their delicious flavour and versatility, these potatoes can elevate any autumn meal, providing a comforting taste of the season. Height and spread: 60cm (24).
