How to Know When Your Potatoes Are Ready - a podcast by Kevin Espiritu | Urban Gardener, Hydroponics Enthusiast, Plant Lover

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are grown throughout the world as a nutritious, convenient, shelf-stable food. Potatoes are the #1 most-consumed vegetable in the Americas, Europe, and Asian countries. I cannot imagine life without potatoes, can you?

Potato cultivars vary in appearance, days to maturity, growth requirements, and culinary qualities. If you live in a temperate climate region like I do, your potatoes planted in late April will be ready for harvesting from mid-summer through early fall.

You’ll have the best results with your potato harvest if you choose cultivars best suited for your local growing conditions and culinary interests.
