Caring For Potato Plants

Potatoes thrive in loose, well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. They’re relatively low-

maintenance but do require regular watering, particularly during the growing season.

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent rot. Adding mulch around your plants helps retain moisture and control weeds.

As the plants grow, "mound-up" soil around the stems protects developing tubers from sunlight and encourages a larger yield.

Step-by-Step: How to Plant Potatoes

You can grow potatoes in a large or small setting, in your Victory Garden, in a raised bed, or container.

1. Ready Your Potatoes: Cut larger seed potatoes into pieces, each with at least one "eye".
2. Prepare Your Soil: Loosen the soil about 12 inches deep, ensuring it is well-drained and enriched with compost or organic matter.
3. Plant the Pieces: Place seed potato pieces cut-side down and eyes up, spacing them 12-15 inches apart in rows 2-3 feet apart. Cover with 4 inches of soil.
4. Water and Care: Water consistently and hill soil around the plants as they grow to protect the tubers.
5. Harvest: Harvest new potatoes when the plants flower, or wait for mature potatoes after the vines die back in the autumn.
