Austrian Crescent Fingerling Seed Potato

Organic Austrian Crescent Fingerling Seed Potato

Austrian Crescent Fingerling Seed Potato is a mid-season Fingerling with fantastic yields of long, crescent-shaped tubers. Some can be impressively long growing up to 10 inches! With a firm waxy and buttery texture it is very likely they will get eaten up quickly by roasting or steaming them. They also can be stored with good results. Try them paired with Magic Molly & French Fingerling for a colorful display. Fun to grow & even more pleasure to eat!

ORGANIC & HOMEGROWN: Our seed potatoes are grown on a small organic family farm in Wisconsin & are double certified. Certified Organic by MOSA and also certified by the Wisconsin Seed Potato Certification Program to bring gardeners the healthiest, disease-free potatoes without varietal mixture.

SEED POTATO ARRIVAL: Organic Seed Potatoes will arrive in a netted bag labeled by variety. Seed potatoes aren’t always pretty and may have slight shriveling, sprouting or minor blemishes. This is completely normal and will not affect the potato’s performance. If you will not be planting within 2 weeks of arrival, remove the potatoes from the netted bag and store seed in a cool, dark place.

Basic Potato Growing Information

• Location: Potatoes like full sun coupled with fertile, well-drained soil. Equally important, keeping the weeds at bay assures a good crop.
• Water:  Potatoes need ~1″ of water per week, consistent watering is key. Discontinue watering when plants die back.
• Planting Time: Potatoes can be planted as soon as the ground can be worked, although some folks wait a bit to make sure the soil is not too wet. Soil temp around 45F is ideal. This time will vary by region. (In Wisconsin, we aim to get our potatoes in by the end of April.) Check with your local Extension office for information specific to your area. Potatoes can tolerate a light frost, however, they may need protection if there is a hard, late frost.
• Bed Feet per Pound: 1-lb bag plants approximately 10-14 row feet, depending on the variety. If a seed potato is over 1 inch in diameter, you can cut them into pieces. Leave 1 – 2 eyes per piece. Average is 10-14 pieces/lb. with average planting rate: 10-12″ apart, in rows 30-36″ apart.
• Easy to Grow: Potatoes are very adaptable, therefore, will almost always grow a respectable crop even when conditions are not perfect.
