Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

A few days before planting, cut seed potatoes into pieces, each with at least one "eye" or bud.
Allow the cut pieces to dry and form a callus over the cuts to prevent rotting.
Sowing:

Plant seed pieces 4-6 inches deep in rows that are 12-15 inches apart.
Space the pieces about 12 inches apart within the row.
Germination:

Seed potatoes typically sprout within 2-4 weeks.
Maintain soil moisture to support germination but avoid waterlogging.
Transplanting:

Not applicable as potatoes are directly sown into the ground.
Care and Maintenance:

Hill the soil around the plants as they grow, covering the lower stems and leaves to protect the developing tubers from sunlight.
Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not soggy.
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest potatoes when the foliage begins to yellow and die back, usually 10-12 weeks after planting for new potatoes, and 15-20 weeks for mature potatoes.
