Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is well-drained, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add more substrate and keep drainage holes clear so excess water can escape. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize eating potatoes whose skin is still fragile. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are intended for planting; only harvested, healthy, non-green tubers are to be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist during potato growth and tuber development. Water at the base when the soil starts to dry out beneath the surface, taking rainfall into account. Moisten the root zone without allowing water to stand, and avoid alternating between complete drying out and saturation. In pots or grow bags, check moisture more frequently, especially in hot weather. Reduce watering when the foliage naturally yellows as harvest approaches.

Soil type

For potatoes, choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil that is easy to work around the tubers. Check drainage after rain: water should be able to exit the root zone. Work the soil when it is dry enough to avoid compacting it. Adjust amendments to its actual texture. In containers, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Adjust fertilization to the richness of your soil and the needs of your crop. A soil analysis helps in choosing useful inputs before planting. Respect the dosage indicated on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other inputs already applied to avoid over-fertilizing the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A higher application rate does not guarantee a better harvest.

Seasonal care

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, dried out, and warmed up sufficiently. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed potatoes with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base of the plant to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. If growing in containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with fragile skin. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, non-green tubers are to be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating. Regularly observe growth and soil moisture throughout the season. Remove diseased debris and clean your tools before working on another planting. At harvest, handle edible parts with care to limit injuries that can accelerate their deterioration.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

To grow potatoes in a container, choose a deep, sturdy bin or a grow bag designed for this purpose. Drainage holes should allow excess water to escape without allowing the growing medium to wash out. Leave room to add soil around the base as the stems develop: new tubers must remain protected from light. Place the container in a sunny spot where you can easily water it. Check the moisture below the surface during growth, as the available soil volume dries out faster than a garden bed. Plant in spring when the soil is thawed, dry, and warm enough. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then place the seed potatoes with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep the new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In a container, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add growing medium and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

Bloom and dimensions

Its place,in your garden.

Bloom period

Potatoes may flower during growth, but the presence of flowers varies depending on the variety and growing conditions. The absence of flowering does not necessarily mean that no tubers are forming. Primarily observe the foliage development and respect the harvesting period adapted to the variety. The flowers and the small berries that may follow them are not edible. The edible harvest concerns healthy, ungreened, and cooked tubers.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance so as not to hinder maintenance or block the light necessary for this planting. Compare their mature height and water needs before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear for watering and harvesting without damaging the leaves. Companion planting in the vegetable garden should primarily facilitate care and efficient use of space; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each one at harvest time and track your results season after season.

Edible parts

Tubers harvested sound and not green, after cooking; exclude sprouts, leaves, stems, and berries

Roasted Herb Potatoes. Use healthy potatoes from your harvest, that are not green or sprouting. Wash them thoroughly, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Mix them with a little oil, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, such as thyme or rosemary. Spread them in a single layer in a dish or on a baking sheet, without overcrowding. Roast them in the oven until the outside is golden and the flesh is tender when pricked. Turn the pieces during cooking to brown several sides. Serve with vegetables, a salad, or your main course. You can add fresh chives just before serving. Adjust the cooking time according to the size of the pieces and your oven. This recipe uses tubers harvested from the garden, never plants sold for planting, leaves, berries, or sprouts.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant ‘Fingerling Combo Sack’ potatoes?

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is moist but not waterlogged, and sufficiently warm. Choose a spot with full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers out of the light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

What light should I plan for 'Fingerling Combo Sack' potatoes?

The recommended exposure is full sun. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shaded. Appropriate exposure must go hand in hand with suitable soil and watering. If you move a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for the young leaves.

How do I adjust the watering?

Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct water to the base of the plant and let it penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any water-retaining saucers. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of water.

What to plan for container growing?

Container gardening requires planning for the volume needed for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable potting mix. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and check the moisture regularly, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than in-ground planting. Therefore, plan for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate from the outset.

What care should be provided after the growing season?

Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with fragile skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-greened tubers should be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also, check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.
