Summer Planting Potatoes (also known as Second Cropping or 'Christmas') These potatoes undergo cold storage from December through to June/July, without the use of chemicals, making them eager to grow in warm summer temperatures. It’s essential to plant them at the optimum time while the days are still long to ensure they reach their full potential. Although referred to as "Christmas Potatoes," they are ready for harvest in October and will not grow larger after that. If left in the ground or in containers and protected from harsh frosts, they can be stored until Christmas, providing you with delicious homegrown potatoes for your festive dinner!
