Get a jump start on your potato planting by getting your seed potatoes now and setting them out in the sun so the “eyes” or sprouts grow larger by planting time. Everyone says to plant potatoes around President’s Day here but I like to put them in around February 10th. In the past, I have yielded about 6 lb of harvested potatoes per pound of seed potato planted. After adding ElixEarth to our garden, we have been yielding 9 lb harvested potatoes per pound planted.
