Cultivation Tips
• Soil requirements: Plant in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter with an ideal pH of about 5.8–6.5.
• Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for best yields.
• Planting: Plant seed potatoes in early to mid-spring once soil can be worked. Larger potatoes may be cut into pieces with at least one eye per piece before planting.
• Spacing: Plant seed pieces about 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30–36 inches apart.
• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season, especially during tuber formation.
• Hilling: As plants grow, mound soil around stems to protect developing potatoes from sunlight and increase yields.
• Mulching: Mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting
Potatoes can be harvested once plants begin to die back and tubers have reached maturity. They may also be harvested earlier as tender “new potatoes.”
