Planting and harvesting information
Kennebec potatoes should be planted in early spring once soil temperatures reach 45°F. Plant seed potatoes 12 inches apart in rows spaced 3 feet apart, at a depth of 4-6 inches in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. These potatoes mature in 80-100 days, typically ready for harvest in mid to late summer when foliage begins to yellow and die back. For maximum yield, ensure consistent moisture and regular hilling as plants grow.
