How to plant potatoes


Wondering how to grow potatoes? We’re here to help! This half-hardy vegetable is a culinary staple that is overlooked by many backyard gardeners. Here’s how to plant, grow, and harvest potatoes in your garden!

The taste and the texture of home-grown potatoes are far superior to those of store-bought spuds, especially the early varieties. They need a cool climate, and also need to be watched to prevent sunburn. In warmer climate zones, potatoes can be grown as a winter crop.

PLANTING

How to Plant Potatoes

  • Plant “seed potatoes” (pieces of whole potato or a small whole potato, with at least 2 eyes per piece) 0-2 weeks after last spring frost. (See local frost dates.)
  • You may start planting earlier, as soon as soil can be worked, but be aware that some crops may be ruined by a frost.
