Growing Tips

1. Timing: Plant White Kennebec seed potatoes in early spring, after the last frost. They thrive in cooler temperatures, making them perfect for spring planting.

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?

White Kennebec potatoes are indeterminate, which means 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.
