Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

• Use certified disease-free seed potatoes with multiple sprouts.
• If potatoes are large, cut them into pieces, ensuring each piece has 2-3 sprouts.
• Allow cut pieces to dry for 1-2 days to form a protective callus before planting.

Sowing:

• Timing: Plant in early spring, 2-4 weeks before the last frost.
• Depth: Dig trenches 4-6 inches deep.
• Spacing:
  • Between seed potatoes: 12-15 inches apart
  • Between rows: 2-3 feet apart
• Orientation: Place seed potatoes with sprouts facing up and cover with soil.

Germination:

• Potato plants typically emerge in 2-3 weeks under optimal conditions.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during tuber development.
• Hilling:
  • When plants reach 6 inches in height, mound soil or mulch around the base.
  • This shields tubers from sunlight, preventing greening and bitterness.
