Review: OK thanks - Good but to many very small ones wich probably won't do much, good service though. ## Features - CARA MAINCROP SEED POTATOES: As a versatile maincrop (bigger potatoes that take longer to mature), Cara potatoes can be grown in July – September, with traditional potato planting time being March – April, which also suits Cara potatoes. Harvest this maincrop after 15 – 22 weeks for best results. Cara potatoes are a robust variety and one of the most popular maincrops due to blight resistance, drought resistance and all-round disease resistance. - PERFECT FOR BAKING, ROASTING, CHIPPING & BOILING: Potatoes are a wonderful staple in our diets, but the variety really does make all the difference. The Cara potato is a light-skinned maincrop with white flesh. The firm cooked texture makes it an easy favourite for creating French fries, wedges and chips as well as roasted or baked potatoes. - EASY TO PLANT: When planting in the ground, set your tubers 10 inches apart so they have space to grow; for planting in limited outdoor space at home, put 3 tubers in a 45-litre planting bag. Maincrop varieties benefit from a nitrogenous fertiliser when you dig them up for the second time. 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 well drained and not have been manured for at least one year. - SEED POTATOES FROM THE SEED POTATO EXPERTS: Before planting your seed potatoes, we recommend 'chitting' – allowing the potatoes to sprout 6 weeks beforehand. Once your tubers have started to sprout, they are ready to be planted ahead of a delicious harvest. Keep your seed potatoes out of extreme weather conditions and temperature changes prior to planting to ensure strong potatoes. Dunk each tuber in water prior to planting. - FROM THE GROUND UPWARDS – SEED POTATOES GROWN IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1895: Jamieson Brothers were established in 1895 where we began selling our potatoes in 50kg bags on a horse and cart. Our seed potatoes are UK grown and still hand sorted in Scotland. From seed to plate, Jamieson Brothers sees the seed potatoes through the entire harvest. We ship to your doorstep so you can enjoy growing seed potatoes in your home, allotment, or farm. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08MKR2KX8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,118 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 42 in Vegetable Seeds | | Brand Name | Jamieson Brothers | | Colour | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (856) | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Type Name | Seed Potatoes | | Manufacturer | Jamieson Brothers® | | Material Features | Natural | | Moisture Needs | Low | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 10 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Non-GM1O | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Seed Potatoes | | Product Care Instructions | Protect from frost | | Soil Type | Loam Soil | | Style Name | Cara - Maincrop | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | Unit Count | 10.0 count | | expected blooming period | Summer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jamieson Brothers - **Colour:** White - **Expected blooming period:** Summer - **Expected planting period:** Spring - **Indoor/Outdoor usage:** Outdoor - **Material feature:** Natural - **Product care instructions:** Protect from frost - **Special feature:** Non-GM1O - **Sunlight exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit count:** 10.0 count ## Images ![Jamieson Brothers 10 Tuber Cara Seed Potatoes – JBA Maincrop Grow Your Own Spuds – for Chips, Roasting & Boiling – Scottish-Grown & Ready to Plant at Home in Pots, Gardens & Allotments - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713OEmcLlbL.jpg) ![Jamieson Brothers 10 Tuber Cara Seed Potatoes – JBA Maincrop Grow Your Own Spuds – for Chips, Roasting & Boiling – Scottish-Grown & Ready to Plant at Home in Pots, Gardens & Allotments - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vchW-4j7L.jpg) ![Jamieson Brothers 10 Tuber Cara Seed Potatoes – JBA Maincrop Grow Your Own Spuds – for Chips, Roasting & Boiling – Scottish-Grown & Ready to Plant at Home in Pots, Gardens & Allotments - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fLjtOfSmL.jpg) ![Jamieson Brothers 10 Tuber Cara Seed Potatoes – JBA Maincrop Grow Your Own Spuds – for Chips, Roasting & Boiling – Scottish-Grown & Ready to Plant at Home in Pots, Gardens & Allotments - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FOqdklZrL.jpg) ![Jamieson Brothers 10 Tuber Cara Seed Potatoes – JBA Maincrop Grow Your Own Spuds – for Chips, Roasting & Boiling – Scottish-Grown & Ready to Plant at Home in Pots, Gardens & Allotments - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-c0ePHjEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these non-gmo?** A: Yes all of our seed potatoes are non GMO **Q: How long can I store these for? I'd like to plant a few at a time to stagger the crop** A: As long as they are reasonably solid will be ok, if the chits get too long just break long ones off., would say plant by the end of month, no longer. JB **Q: Hi what is the difference between seed potatoes and standard shop potatoes, Forgive me I am not a gardener.** A: Seed potatoes are disease free, or should be. No promise of that with shop bought ones. On the other hand nothing stopping you from planting shop bought ones and having a go. **Q: If i buy these now (in 2nd week of february), when should/would i need to plant them? & how best do i grow chits on them before planting? (newbie here** A: Plant after the last frost ( generally mid March early April. For Southern England.maybe later further North) If you grow in bags or pots away from frost,you can plant anytime. I chit my potatoes on a window cill indoors in an open egg box. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by H***0 on 10 April 2026* Good quality seed potatoes. Good size - not too big.
