Growing Tips

  1. Timing: Plant Dark Red Norland seed potatoes in early spring, after the last frost. They thrive in cool temperatures and are among the first crops you can plant.

  2. Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained soil with a pH of 5.0-6.0. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients.

  3. Planting: Cut seed potatoes into pieces, each with at least one eye. Allow the cut pieces to dry for a day before planting to prevent rot. Plant them 4-6 inches deep and 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.

  4. Hilling: As the plants grow, mound soil around the base of the plants to protect the developing tubers from sunlight and to encourage more tuber production.

  5. Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during tuber formation. Potatoes require about 1-2 inches of water per week.

  6. Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

  7. Harvesting: Harvest potatoes when the vines begin to yellow and die back. Carefully dig around the plants to avoid damaging the tubers.

Determinate or Indeterminate?

Dark Red Norland potatoes are determinate, meaning they have a shorter growing season and tend to produce their harvest all at once. Determinate potatoes grow to a certain height and then stop, focusing their energy on producing tubers.

Determinate potatoes:

  • Have a defined growth period.

  • Produce a single harvest.

  • Require less hilling compared to indeterminate varieties.
