Potatoes 'Red Glenn'

A very fertile and versatile potato. The tuber shape is oval, with red skin and cream-colored flesh. The texture is slightly floury, therefore quite firm, which makes this variety suitable for regular cooking, as well as baking, frying, and mashing. We find Red Glenn to be simply a delicious potato, and it stores very well for a long time.

MAIN CROP VARIETY FOR GOURMETS.
A main crop variety means it can be harvested from September onwards. Early planting can advance the harvest by several weeks. Planting time is from mid-April, when the soil has sufficient warmth. Pre-sprouting in light or in a large pot can be done earlier. Do not place them in a too wet spot, but in full sun. Main crop varieties can suffer from the dreaded potato blight (Phytophthora infestans). Some preventive measures include: planting with ample space, fertilizing with patentkali, not spraying water over the plant, and possibly organic spraying with sulfur or silinal. The average planting distance is 70x40 cm; we recommend maintaining 80x40 cm to prevent diseases.
