Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Choose healthy, disease-free tubers.
If tubers are large, cut them into 2-3 inch pieces, ensuring each piece has at least one bud/eye.
Allow cut pieces to dry and callus over for a day before planting.
Sowing:

Plant tubers 4-6 inches deep and 12-18 inches apart.
Space rows about 3 feet apart.
Plant in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.
Germination:

Tubers will sprout in 2-4 weeks, depending on soil temperature and moisture.
Transplanting:

Not typically transplanted as they are planted directly into the ground.
Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods.
Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Watch for pests such as aphids and treat as needed.
Harvest tubers after the first frost when the plant tops die back. Dig carefully to avoid damaging the tubers.
