Part 8/9:

Once the potatoes reach maturity, it’s best to harvest early varieties while the foliage is green and lush. Use care to avoid damaging the tubers and stop watering late-season potatoes two to three weeks before harvest to allow their skins to toughen.

When harvesting, leave the tubers out on the surface for a couple of hours to dry before storing them in a dark, cool, and ventilated spot to prevent greening.

Conclusion

Growing potatoes should be an enjoyable activity, offering not only delicious rewards but also a sense of accomplishment. Whether you opt for early, midseason, or late potatoes, understanding the growing techniques, plant types, and care strategies will significantly influence your yield.
