Growing Instructions:
Plant your first early potato crops from late February. Before planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by placing them in a cool, bright spot (around 10°C / 50°F) to encourage sprouting.
For ground planting, avoid areas where potatoes have been grown for the last two years to reduce disease risks. Prepare a sheltered, sunny spot with moist, well-drained soil, and incorporate well-rotted manure. Space seed potatoes 30cm (12") apart in 10cm (4") deep trenches, with rows set 60cm (2') apart. Once shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound soil around them, leaving a few centimetres visible. Repeat this after three weeks.
If space is limited, consider growing potatoes in bags. Use an 8-litre potato bag filled with quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure. Plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots facing up at a depth of 12cm (5") from the surface. Place the bag in a sunny location and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
With these simple steps, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a bountiful harvest of Foremost Seed Potatoes!

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution

Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants

We start processing orders each morning at 8am.

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
