Planting Tips:
- Soil Requirements: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil to promote healthy tuber development.
- Sunlight Exposure: Ensure they receive ample sunlight, ideal for vigorous growth.
- Watering: Maintain consistent moisture levels in the soil, especially during dry periods, to support tuber formation.
- Spacing: Space seeds adequately to allow each plant room to mature and spread.
- Soil requirements: Red skin potatoes prefer well-drained, loose, and loamy soil with a pH level between 5.0 and 6.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These potatoes require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Red skin potatoes need consistent moisture, especially during the tuber formation stage. Water them deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting season: The best time to plant red skin potato seeds is in early spring, once the soil temperature reaches at least 45°F (7°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seed potatoes 4 inches deep and space them 12 inches apart in rows that are 30 inches apart.
- Germination time: Red skin potato seeds typically take 2-3 weeks to sprout after planting.
- Maturity time: Red skin potatoes usually reach maturity in about 70-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest is when the foliage begins to yellow and die back, usually in late summer or early fall. Harvest in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork to gently lift the potatoes from the soil. Be careful not to damage the tubers. Allow the potatoes to cure in a cool, dark place for a few days before storing them in a cool, dry, and dark location. Avoid washing the potatoes until you are ready to use them to extend their storage life.
