2kg Golden Wonder Seed Potatoes
The Golden Wonder Potato is a classic maincrop variety, highly regarded for its long, oval tubers with russet skin and white, floury flesh. Known for its excellent taste and texture, it is perfect for baking, boiling, mashing, roasting, and even chipping. This variety is a traditional favorite among potato enthusiasts, prized for its versatility and rich, nutty flavor when cooked.
To grow Golden Wonder Potatoes, select a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Before planting, prepare the ground by incorporating plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes 15 cm (6 inches) deep and 30 cm (12 inches) apart in rows spaced 60 cm (24 inches) apart.
As the plants grow, earth up the soil around the stems to protect the developing tubers from light exposure, which can cause greening. Golden Wonder thrives in light, sandy soil and benefits from consistent watering, especially during dry spells. Be mindful not to overwater, as this can lead to rotting in heavy soils.
Golden Wonder Potatoes are ready to harvest about 20–22 weeks after planting, typically in late summer or early autumn. Wait until the foliage has yellowed and died back before lifting the tubers. Use a fork to carefully lift the potatoes, ensuring you do not damage the delicate skin.
After harvesting, allow the tubers to dry in a cool, shaded area for several hours before storing them in a dark, well-ventilated space. Golden Wonder Potatoes are excellent for long-term storage, maintaining their unique floury texture and flavor for months when kept in the right conditions. This variety is a must-have for gardeners who enjoy flavorful, multi-purpose potatoes!
