Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:

  • Cut larger seed potatoes into pieces, ensuring each piece has at least one or two eyes (sprouts).
  • Allow the cut pieces to dry and form a protective layer (skin) for a few days before planting.

• Sowing:

  • Plant seed potatoes in early spring, about 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Dig trenches or individual planting holes about 4-6 inches deep and place seed pieces 10-12 inches apart.
  • Space rows 2-3 feet apart to allow for adequate plant growth.

• Germination:

  • Potato plants do not grow from seeds but from seed potatoes. As the seed potatoes develop sprouts (eyes), they will begin to grow into new plants.

• Transplanting:

  • Direct planting is typically recommended for potatoes. Ensure seed pieces are planted with the sprouts facing upwards.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season, especially during tuber formation.

• Hilling:

  • As potato plants grow, gradually mound soil around the base of the plants to protect developing tubers from sunlight and to encourage additional tuber growth.

Happy Gardening and enjoy your fresh, homegrown potatoes!
