{"product_id":"rocket-seed-potatoes","title":"Rocket Seed Potatoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the best varieties for delicious new baby potatoes fresh from the garden. First unveiled in 1987, 'Rocket' seed potatoes are favoured for their rapid growth and sizeable, consistent yields. Exhibiting white skin and flesh, they have a mild taste and shallow eyes. Resistant to common diseases like blackleg and scab, it's advised to harvest Rockets early to prevent tuber cracking. These potatoes are cherished for their extremely quick cultivation and substantial yield. Rocket, as the name suggests, is one of if not the fastest growing variety available, growing in as little as 8-10 weeks, 2-4 weeks faster than other First Earlies.\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 Rocket First Earlies extremely quickly in only for 8-10 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":58660583768409,"sku":"POT10-8","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2kg (20-25 Tubers)","offer_id":58660583801177,"sku":"POT-ROCKET-2KG","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg (200-250 Tubers)","offer_id":58660583833945,"sku":"POT-ROCKET-20KG","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/8757\/5385\/files\/seed-potato-first-early-rocket-lifestyle-4.jpg?v=1784882716","url":"https:\/\/jamiesonbrothers.com\/products\/rocket-seed-potatoes","provider":"Jamieson-brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
