Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, dried, and warmed sufficiently. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then place the seed tubers 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. If planting in a container, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add more growing medium and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Discard damaged ones and prioritize eating potatoes with still-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, ungreened 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.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist during potato growth and tuber bulking. Water at the base of the plant when the soil surface begins to dry, taking rainfall into account. Moisten the root zone without allowing water to stagnate, and avoid alternating between complete drying and saturation. For potted plants or grow bags, check moisture levels more frequently, especially in hot weather. Reduce watering as the foliage naturally yellows closer to harvest.

Soil type

For potatoes, favor 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 no longer waterlogged to avoid compacting it. Adapt amendments to its actual texture. For container growing, use an appropriate potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Adapt fertilization to your soil's richness and the crop's needs. A soil analysis helps determine useful additions before planting. Follow the dosage indicated on your fertilizer's packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other already made contributions to avoid feeding the same plant twice. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid any concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A larger application does not guarantee a better harvest.

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 letting the growing medium leach 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 water easily. Check the moisture level below the surface during growth, as the available volume of soil dries out faster than a garden row. Plant in spring when the soil is thawed, drained, and sufficiently warm. 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 to keep 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

Potato plants can flower during their 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 adhere to the harvest period appropriate for the variety. The flowers and any small berries that may follow them are not edible. Edible harvest refers to healthy, non-green, 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 needed 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 first and foremost facilitate care and space utilization; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to find each one at harvest time and track your results over the seasons.

Edible parts

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

Herb Roasted Potatoes. Use healthy potatoes from your harvest, that are not green and have no sprouts. Wash them carefully, 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 them. Roast them in the oven until the outside is golden brown 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.

How to Successfully Plant 'Organic Combo Sack' Potatoes?

Plant in spring when the ground is thawed, well-drained, and sufficiently warm. Choose 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 protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

What light should I provide for 'Organic Combo Sack' Potatoes?

The recommended exposure is full sun. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and in the 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. For container plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors to the outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for the young leaves.

How do I adjust 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 and allow it to 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 saucers that collect water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of watering.

What to plan for container gardening?

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 overcrowding the plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially during hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the outset that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

What aftercare should I plan for after the growing season?

Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged tubers 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 for planting; only harvested, healthy, 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.
