Charlotte is the classic salad potato against which others are judged. Matures as a latish first early, producing good numbers of medium sized oval tubers with a very fine flavour. Very waxy when young and perfect hot or cold.
Good blight and scab resistance. Charlotte is a Salad variety. Flesh Colour - Yellow. Uses - new, boil, steam, mash and saute.
Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting in March/April. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30"). Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost).
Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.
NB: Quantities are approximate and assume 10 tubers per kilogram.
