Description

Before you plant your potatoes, make sure you have properly prepared your soil. A potato plant grows from a seed potato-each seed potato should have an eye. The eye of the potato is where it will begin to sprout- place the eye of the potato facing up. The ideal size for seed potatoes is slightly larger than a golf ball-if you have a seed potato that is larger than this simply cut it in half, ensuring that both pieces have an eye on it. Each potato will grow into a plant and produce multiple of potatoes.
To plant: Dig a trench that is 6 inches in depth. From here simply place a potato every 12 inches so that you have plenty of space for the potatoes to grow.

  1. DARLENE MITCHELL –

    I picked up my seed potatoes at Lester’s last year and they were the best crop harvested. Can’t remember what I had… some red….some yellow……. looking forward to getting my garden in again this year, at the cottage. 🙂

  • Horse Radish

    $8.95
    A member of the mustard family, horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is a multi-purpose vegetable for the garden. This beautiful leafy plant has long, spiky edible leaves that make a fine addition to fresh salads. Long stems of white flowers bloom in mid-summer to add some extra interest in the garden. But these plants have a thick, fleshy taproot system that’s the most useful part of the plant. Fresh horseradish makes some of the most flavourful condiments and sauces around. If you plant horseradish, make sure you place it where you want it to stay. These perennial plants need a permanent planting space in full sun. Place transplants or root cuttings in the garden once the soil is dry enough to be worked.
