Varieties ordered for previous East Anglia Potato Days’ below :
This page arranges your choices by the length of growing season. The shortest growing season potatoes are “first earlies”. Next are “second earlies”, then “early maincrop”, finally “late maincrop”. Potato day helps you find what you want by a colour code you are about to read. We also try to get seed potatoes grown organically and this is noted in the list.

Ordered for 2019:
First Early: You do not have to plant first early potatoes first or early. They are called first early because their growing season is shortest. If you plant all your crops at the same time, the first earlies will be ready to harvest first! At East Anglia Potato Day you can tell which are first early because we use a green label.

Second Early: Second early potatoes have a slightly longer growing season than first earlies. At East Anglia Potato Day you can tell which are second early because we use a blue label.
