Hermes has been around for a long time and 2025 is the first year that it has been available to us as seed. It produces large potatoes that are floury, perfect for baking. The yield produced is good and it bperforms well in dry summers. Disease resistance is good, especially to blight. As well as being a good baker it can also be used for chips and roasting.
Please note: We are not Soil Association approved.
SOIL PREPARATION:
Choose a place in the garden which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be open, well drained and not have been manured for at least one year.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Each potato should be 25cm from the next, with rows spaced 60cm apart. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards. Drills should be 15cm deep.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Water well in dry spells.
HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Harvest June-July. Dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry and dark location. Potatoes can be stored for several months. Tip: when harvesting, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil and discard, to avoid diseases on next year’s crop.
Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting. Keep free from frost.
