Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Cut seed potatoes into pieces, ensuring each piece has at least one or two "eyes" (sprouts).
Allow the cut pieces to dry for 24-48 hours before planting to reduce the risk of rot.

Sowing:

Plant seed pieces in early spring, 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Dig trenches 4-6 inches deep and place seed pieces 12 inches apart, with rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.
Cover seed pieces with 2-3 inches of soil initially.

Germination:

Potato plants typically emerge 2-4 weeks after planting.
As plants grow, gradually hill up soil around the base of the plants, eventually creating mounds about 8 inches high.

Transplanting:

Direct sowing is recommended for potatoes. If starting indoors, ensure seedlings are hardened off properly before transplanting outside.
Follow the same spacing and hilling instructions as for direct sowing.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during tuber formation, but avoid waterlogging.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, control weeds, and protect tubers from sunlight.
Hilling: Continue to hill soil around plants as they grow to protect developing tubers from light and to support the plants.

Happy Gardening!
