Optional Chitting: Stand seed potatoes eyes-up in a cool, bright place for 4-6 weeks to sprout before planting. Tubers may turn green in the light, this is normal.\n\u003cbr\u003e2. Best planted after the last frost in Spring (March-April), or up until mid-August if stored correctly. Plant slightly earlier in the South of the UK, and later in North of the UK.\n\u003cbr\u003e3. Grow these Main Crops for 16-24 weeks. Feel for the potatoes size before pulling up to harvest.\n\u003cbr\u003e4. Protect from frost and blight while growing. Use movable Jamieson Brothers Grow Bags or frost covers, and protect from blight with Jamieson Brothers Blight Guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest let the potatoes air dry for a few hours on the soil surface before bagging them up.\n\u003cbr\u003eNever store them in plastic bags, as the trapped moisture will cause them to rot. Hessian sacks are the best way to store potatoes.\n\u003cbr\u003eDon't store them next to onions or fruit like apples, as these release gases that make potatoes spoil faster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jamieson Brothers","offers":[{"title":"8 Tubers","offer_id":58660567777625,"sku":"POT-BELLE-DE-FONTENAY-8","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2kg (20-25 Tubers)","offer_id":58660567810393,"sku":"POT-BELLFON-2KG","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"20kg (200-250 Tubers)","offer_id":58660567843161,"sku":"POT-BELLFON-20KG","price":43.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/8757\/5385\/files\/seed-potato-maincrop-belle-de-fontenay-lifestyle-1.jpg?v=1784896667","url":"https:\/\/jamiesonbrothers.com\/products\/belle-de-fontenay-seed-potatoes","provider":"Jamieson-brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
