Potatoes (Early)
 Red Norland
101' 3"1' 1" x 1' 7"Productive and early red-skinned variety. red skin color. Round to oblong tubers, white flesh, store well, excellent for roasting + boiling. Plant at closer spacing (68") for small "new" potatoes. Resistant to Potato Virus CULTURE: Potatoes grow best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Cut tubers into pieces roughly 1 1/2-2 oz. (1-1 1/4" diameter) each, with at least one "eye" per piece. Small tubers may be planted whole. Potatoes can be planted in early to mid-spring as they tolerate cool soil and moderate frost. Plant seed pieces 2-3" deep, 12" apart, in rows 30-36" apart. Plants will emerge 2-3 weeks later. When the plants are 6-8" tall, hill them by mounding soil from each side of the row about 4" high along the base of the plants to protect developing tubers from greening. Repeat hilling process as plants grow until hills are about 12" high.

Potatoes (Maincrop)
 red maria
181' 5"1' 1" x 2' 5"Maturity: Late season Yield: Heavy. Tuber set: Heavy. It sets high in the hill, requiring additional hilling Nitrogen: TBD Very susceptible to late blight. Resistant to common scab, Golden nematode Ro1, hollow heart, internal heat necrosis. Moderately resistant to blackspot bruise Storage: Excellent; dormancy is three weeks Advantages: A round red with uniform tuber size. higher productivity than Chieftain and Norland Dark Red. Earlier skin set than most red-skinned varieties. A replacement for Norland Dark Red Other: Strong skin set will typically take a full three weeks after vine kill Growth habit/canopy: Semi-upright to spreading; intermediate type foliage structure Inflorescences: Red violet corolla, prominent star, yellow-orange anthers Stems: Medium to thick with weak to medium anthocyanin coloration Leaves: Medium to dark green, intermediate silhouette, very weak to weak anthocyanin coloration Tubers Skin color and texture: Bright deep red, light net to netted skin Flesh co

141' 5"1' 1" x 2' 5"70-80 days.HARVEST: Small, "new" potatoes - harvested beginning about 7-8 weeks after planting. Main crop tubers are harvested in fall. After foliage has died back, leave tubers in the ground for 2 weeks to set skin. Dig tubers, brush off soil, and allow skins to dry before storing. Store in a cool but not freezing (40°F/4.4°C) dark, humid place.Potatoes grow best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Cut tubers into pieces roughly 1 1/2-2 oz. (1-1 1/4" diameter) each, with at least one "eye" per piece. Small tubers may be planted whole. Potatoes can be planted in early to mid-spring as they tolerate cool soil and moderate frost.
