Acoustic Seed Potatoes – A High-Yielding, Blight-Resistant Variety

Acoustic Seed Potatoes are an excellent all-round second early variety, prized for their resistance to blight and suitability for organic gardens. Producing round tubers with smooth, pale skin and creamy flesh, Acoustic delivers high yields and offers versatility in the kitchen. Early in the season, the tubers have a waxy texture, perfect for salads and boiling, while later in the season, they become floury and ideal for baking, mashing, and roasting.

Key Features:

  • Second Early Variety: Harvest Acoustic potatoes around 13-15 weeks after planting, offering flexibility in culinary uses throughout the season.
  • High Yield: Acoustic is known for producing abundant crops of round, uniform tubers.
  • Blight Resistant: Strong resistance to blight makes Acoustic an excellent choice for organic gardening and areas prone to wet conditions.
  • Versatile Culinary Use: Enjoy early as waxy potatoes for boiling and salads, or allow to mature for baking, mashing, roasting, and chipping.
  • Perfect for Organic Gardens: Acoustic thrives in organic systems due to its disease resistance and strong, healthy growth.

Planting and Growing:

  • Planting Time: April to May, once the soil temperature reaches above 8°C.
  • Sowing Depth: Plant 15cm deep with 30cm between tubers and 60cm between rows.
  • Growing Tips: Regular earthing up protects the tubers from light exposure and frost while encouraging better yields. Water consistently, especially during dry periods, to support strong growth.

Harvesting:

  • Harvest Time: July to September, approximately 13-15 weeks after planting. Tubers can be harvested early for their waxy texture or left to mature for a floury consistency.

  • Salads: Early harvested Acoustic potatoes have a waxy texture, ideal for salads.
  • Roasting and Baking: As the tubers mature, they develop a more floury texture, making them perfect for roasting or baking.
  • Mashing and Chipping: The floury texture of mature Acoustic potatoes lends itself to smooth mashes and crispy chips.
