SARPO MIRA MAINCROP SEED POTATOES: A high yielding, red-skinned late maincrop variety, Sarpo Mira develops to produce a deep rooted, drought resistant plant that grows very tall, smothering weed competition as it does so. As a maincrop bigger potatoes that take longer to mature Sarpo Miras can be grown July September, with traditional potato planting time March April. Harvest after 15 22 weeks for best results. Slug and blight resistant. One of the best virus resistant varieties.
PERFECT FOR BAKING, BOILING, CHIPPING & ROASTING: Potatoes are a wonderful staple in our diets, but the variety really does make all the difference. Sarpo Miras when cooked have a dry, light and fluffy, floury texture. As a high yielding cropper of large potatoes, these are great for making lots of chips and popping in an air or deep fat fryer. Use for baking to make jacket potatoes or roasting with generous lashings of olive oil or salted butter and herbs. Red-skinned with pale flesh.
EASY TO PLANT: When planting in the ground, set your tubers 10 inches apart so they have space to grow; for planting in limited outdoor space at home, put 3 tubers in a 45-litre planting bag. Maincrop varieties benefit from a nitrogenous fertiliser when you dig them up. Choose a place in the garden which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be well drained and fertilizer or manure can be added to the area to boost growth.
SEED POTATOES FROM THE SEED POTATO EXPERTS: Before planting your seed potatoes, we recommend chitting allowing the potatoes to sprout 6 weeks beforehand. Once your tubers have started to sprout, they are ready to be planted ahead of a delicious harvest. Keep your seed potatoes out of extreme weather conditions and temperature changes prior to planting to ensure strong potatoes. Dunk each tuber in water prior to planting.
FROM THE GROUND UPWARDS SEED POTATOES GROWN IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1895: Jamieson Brothers were established in 1895 where we began selling our potatoes in 50kg bags on a horse and cart. Our seed potatoes are UK grown and still hand sorted in Scotland. From seed to plate, Jamieson Brothers sees the seed potatoes through the entire harvest. We ship to your doorstep so you can enjoy growing seed potatoes in your home, allotment
