Picasso Seed Potatoes
Maturing about a month earlier than similar and well known Cara from which it was bred, Picasso is a great garden potato!
Picasso is easy to grow with good disease resistance and gives a huge crop of large baker sized potatoes which also mash very well. A Maincrop variety. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - boil, steam, mash, saute and baked.
Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30").
Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.
NB: Quantities are approximate and based on 10 tubers per kilogram.
