How to Grow Your Yellow Potatoes:
For optimal growth, choose a location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight (6-8 hours per day). You can plant your seed potatoes in a garden bed, raised bed, grow bags, or even containers. Consider using a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer to provide your plants with the nutrients they need. Follow these simple steps:
- Chit the Potatoes (Optional): Place seed potatoes in a cool, bright place for 1-2 weeks to sprout short green shoots.
- Cut Large Tubers (if needed): If a potato is larger than a golf ball, cut it into chunks with at least 1-2 eyes each. Let the cut pieces dry for 1-2 days.
- Planting: Dig a trench or holes 4 inches deep. Place potatoes cut side down, eye side up, spaced 12 inches apart. Cover with 3-4 inches of soil.
- Hilling: When shoots reach 6-8 inches tall, mound soil or straw around the stems. Repeat 2-3 times during the season.
- Watering: Water 1-2 inches per week, keeping soil moist but not soggy.
- Harvest: For new potatoes, harvest 2-3 weeks after flowering. For full-size potatoes, wait until plants yellow and die back (90-120 days).
