Uncover the charm of French Fingerling Seed Potatoes, renowned for their slender shape, smooth skin, and buttery flavor. These non-GMO seed potatoes are a delightful addition to any garden, bringing both aesthetic appeal and exceptional taste to your table.
Type: Non-GMO
Color: Red to pinkish skin with yellow flesh and occasional red marbling
Flavor: Buttery and nutty
Shape: Finger-like, long and narrow tubers
Timing: Plant French Fingerling seed potatoes in early spring, after the last frost. They thrive in cool temperatures and are one of the first crops to plant.
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.
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.
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.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during tuber formation. Potatoes require about 1-2 inches of water per week.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Harvesting: Harvest potatoes when the vines begin to yellow and die back. Carefully dig around the plants to avoid damaging the tubers.
French Fingerling potatoes are indeterminate, meaning they have a longer growing season and can continue to produce tubers over time. Indeterminate potatoes grow taller and require more hilling to support their extended tuber production.
Indeterminate potatoes:
Have an extended growth period.
Can produce multiple harvests.
Require more frequent hilling compared to determinate varieties.
