Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Red Duke of York seeds.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into the garden after the last frost date when the soil temperature reaches at least 45°F (7°C).
Sow seeds 2-3 inches deep and 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.
Ensure the soil is well-drained and amended with compost or organic matter.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Red Duke of York potatoes are typically grown from seed potatoes rather than seeds.
If starting from seed indoors, plant seeds in biodegradable pots and transplant seedlings outdoors once they are 6-8 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Maintain even soil moisture throughout the growing season, especially during tuber formation.
Hilling: Mound soil around the base of the plants as they grow to promote tuber development and prevent greening.
Weeding: Keep the area around the plants free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
Harvesting: Harvest potatoes when the foliage dies back, typically 10-12 weeks after planting for early varieties like Red Duke of York.
