Winston Seed Potatoes
Winston is a versatile variety of potato which is not only delicious as a new potato with very tasty creamy flesh but bulks up well and once the skins have set makes very good bakers.
Winston is a first Early variety. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - new, boil, steam, baked and roast.
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.
