Potato

Plant indoors about 3-4 weeks before last frost in loose, well-drained soil.

Cut “seed” potatoes so that each piece has at least 2-3 eyes; allow to air dry (callus) 5-7 days before planting.

Plant 2” below soil, about 24” apart; water and mulch. Keep moist-not soggy.

After they bloom and plants start to decline, reduce water and you can harvest.

If a green potato appears above the soil level it is best not to use it.

Potatoes will store underground until frost.
