{"product_id":"gemson-seed-potatoes","title":"Gemson Seed Potatoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eGemson seed potatoes are an excellent choice for producing fresh, new-season salad potatoes. They produce high numbers of attractive, round tubers with a smooth finish and a delicious, well-balanced flavour. The firm texture holds together well during cooking, making Gemson ideal for boiling and serving warm or cold in salads. The small, evenly sized potatoes are also perfect for steaming, roasting whole or serving as a simple side dish. A reliable variety with strong cropping potential, Gemson is a great option for gardeners looking to grow plenty of tasty salad potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing Instructions:\n\u003cbr\u003e1. 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 Second Earlies for 12-16 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":"10 Tubers","offer_id":58660570628441,"sku":"POT10-17","price":6.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2kg (20-25 Tubers)","offer_id":58660570661209,"sku":"Gemson - 2KG","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg (200-250 Tubers)","offer_id":58660570693977,"sku":"POT-GEMSON","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/8757\/5385\/files\/seed-potato-second-early-gemson-lifestyle-2.jpg?v=1784881053","url":"https:\/\/jamiesonbrothers.com\/products\/gemson-seed-potatoes","provider":"Jamieson-brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
