Growing Instructions (Zone 3b)

Potatoes grow very well in cooler northern climates and are well suited to Zone 3b gardens.

• Planting Time: Plant seed potatoes in late spring once the soil warms to about 7–10°C (45–50°F). In Zone 3b this is typically mid-May to early June.
• Sun: Full sun is required for strong plant growth and good tuber development.
• Soil: Loose, fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 5.0–6.5.
• Preparation: If larger seed potatoes are present, cut them into pieces ensuring each piece has at least 1–2 eyes. Allow cut pieces to dry for 1–2 days before planting to prevent rot.
• Planting Depth: Plant pieces about 3–4 inches deep.
• Spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart in rows 24–30 inches apart.
• Hilling: When plants reach 6–8 inches tall, mound soil around the base of the plants. Repeat as plants grow to encourage more tuber formation and protect developing potatoes from sunlight.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering when tubers begin forming.
• Harvest: Harvest small new potatoes in about 70–80 days, or allow 90–110 days for full maturity depending on the varieties in the mix.
• Storage: Cure harvested potatoes in a dark, well-ventilated space for 1–2 weeks before storing in a cool, dark place.

The C6 Organic Fingerling Combo Sack is a great way to grow a colorful, flavorful assortment of gourmet potatoes in your garden.
