#ProPlantTips for Care:

Potatoes need full sun and rich, slightly acidic well-drained soil that isn't compacted or rocky. Provide regular moderate moisture throughout the growing season. Keep a 3-4 inch deep layer of compost/mulch over the soil surface.

Plant seed potatoes 2-4 weeks after your area's last frost date, harvest the first baby potatoes when the flowers bloom, or wait until your crop matures.
