The season is upon us to start growing potatoes!

Seed potatoes are around in your nurseries right now (seed potatoes are not likely to become diseased) and there are many varieties like ‘Royal Blue’ with blue skin and white flesh, ‘Sapphire’ which has purple skin and flesh, as well as ‘Dutch Cream’ and ‘Nicola’.

Nurseries sell seed potatoes and they like a soil that is fine and friable.
