Soil Preparation:
Select a garden area that hasn't hosted garlic, onions, shallots, or leeks for at least two years. Ensure the soil is well-drained, open, and free from manure for at least one year prior to planting.

Planting Instructions:
Space each potato 25 cm apart, with rows 60 cm apart. Be sure to position the eyes facing upwards. Drills should be approximately 15 cm deep to promote healthy growth.

Care Instructions:
During dry spells, ensure adequate watering to support the plants' development.

Harvesting Instructions:
Harvest your crop between October and December. Carefully dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry, and dark location to extend their shelf life for several months. To prevent diseases in future crops, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil during harvesting.

For optimal results, plant as soon as possible after purchase. Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area until planting, and keep them frost-free.
These seed potatoes are grown from cultivated stock, ensuring you receive the best quality for your gardening endeavors.
