General Potato Growing Information:

Step-by-step planting instructions will be provided with your order. For more information, see our Potato Planting blog.

• 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. In Wisconsin, we shoot for getting our potatoes by the end of April.
• Potatoes can tolerate a light frost, but need protection if there is a hard, late frost.
• Potatoes are very adaptable and will almost always grow a respectable crop even when conditions are not perfect.
• Potatoes like Full Sun.
• It’s important to keep the weeds down for a good crop.
