Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Chitting (Optional): 4-6 weeks before planting, place seed potatoes in a bright, cool spot to encourage sprouting.

2. Sowing:

   • Planting Time: Outdoors in spring, after the last frost when soil is 45-50°F (7-10°C).
   • Depth & Spacing: Dig 4-6 inches deep, spacing seed potatoes 10-12 inches apart with rows 2-3 feet apart.

3. Growth & Maintenance:

   • Hilling: When plants reach 6-8 inches, mound soil around stems to encourage tuber growth and protect potatoes from greening.
   • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, especially in dry periods.

4. Harvesting & Storage:

   • Harvesting: Ready to harvest 10-12 weeks after planting when foliage dies back. Use a garden fork to dig up potatoes carefully.
   • Storage: Cure potatoes in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks before storage at 40-50°F (4-10°C) in a humid environment to maintain quality and prevent sprouting.
