Tips & Best Practices
- Plant seed potatoes 2–4 weeks before the last frost date.
- Cut seed potatoes into pieces with 2–3 eyes each; let cuts dry for 1–2 days.
- Hill soil around the stems as plants grow to prevent greening.
- Potatoes prefer cool weather and stop tuber growth when soil exceeds 80°F.
