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.
