'Jazzy' is a fairly new variety that is quickly establishing itself as a British favourite - both in the garden and in the kitchen! This easy-to-grow second early potato is extremely productive, with huge harvests of up to 35-50 or more evenly sized tubers from each plant. These lovely small potatoes have a consistently good oval shape with thin, creamy white skins and shallow eyes, as well as tender white flesh that simply bursts with flavour. Their waxy texture remains firm during cooking, making them a perfect choice for potato salad, but also great for boiling, roasting, steaming, crushing or mashing. There is absolutely no need to peel them unless you are using them for mash. A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Jazzy' has good resistance to disease and its compact habit means it will tolerate fairly exposed positions. Once the seed potatoes have produced shoots or chits, they will be ready to plant directly into a prepared bed or large bags or containers from mid-March, preferably after the frosts have gone. Young potatoes can be harvested from 13-17 weeks after planting. If not harvesting them all as second early crops, 'Jazzy' will keep well in the soil, developing into larger tubers of a quality maincrop character. Supplied as a 2.5kg bag of seed potatoes (approx. 30-35 tubers) ready to prepare indoors for planting out in the spring.

A new innovation, the Skelly Pot and Tray - the greener way to garden. Recently launched at the UK's premier Horticultural Trade Show, it won Best New Professional Product, and we are delighted to be the first to offer it to the amateur garden market. There is clear pressure and desire to reduce single use plastics now, and these compressed peat Jiffy Bio pots are perfect, giving 3-4 months of growing pants in them as they slowly degrade, meaning once rooted to plant them pot and all into the garden or planter. The game changer is when combined with the 'Skeleton' tray, the unique design allows lots of air to circulate round the side of the bio pots, as opposed to very little when they are wet and rammed into a solid sided plastic trays. The benefit of this is 'air pruning' - when a new root hair meets the air, it stops growing out, and increases branching and new root development in the compost, as well as letting more air into the compost too. This creates stronger, more well-rooted and compact plants that race away with no transplant shock when potted on or planted out. Designed by an old school commercial grower in northern England, who also invented the Easy Fill hanging basket, he now grows his bedding plants in this system, because it : Reduces plastic use Produces Quicker, better rooting out Grows More compact and robust plants Offers Quicker and easier to plant straight out Perfect for pricking out seedlings and plugs for 3-4 weeks to grow on, or sow or root your own cuttings in them. Supplied as a single tray, plus 8cm diameter Jiffy Bio pots for 12 plants. Refill packs of biopots are available. Ask us for quotes on larger volumes.
