Planting Instructions: Seed Preparation:
Cut seed potatoes into pieces, each with at least one eye. Allow the cut pieces to air-dry for a day or two to form a callous over the cut surface. Sowing:
Plant seed pieces 4 inches deep and 12 inches apart in rows. Space rows about 3 feet apart. Germination:
Seed potatoes typically begin to sprout within 2-4 weeks, depending on soil temperature and moisture. Transplanting:
Not applicable as potatoes are sown directly into their growing location. Care and Maintenance:
Hill soil around plants when they reach about 6-8 inches in height to encourage tuber development and prevent green potatoes. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Monitor for pests such as Colorado potato beetles and manage with appropriate measures. Harvest potatoes when the plant foliage begins to yellow and die back. Carefully dig up tubers and allow them to cure in a cool, dark place for a few days before storage.
