Questions & Answers
As an average, in 1 pound of seed potatoes, you will receive from 5 to 8 tubers.
If all conditions are ideal, you may harvest about five to 10 potatoes per plant for your gardening efforts. Yields are based on both the care your give your plants during the growing season and the variety of potatoes you choose to grow.
Yes. I've successfully grown in specialized 'potato' grow bags, but I would imagine any reasonably-sized cloth grow bag would work. It also makes hilling a bit easier if you're able to fold over the cloth when you first plant and then extend it up as you hill up.
Yes as far as I'm aware. In fact, I'm doing exactly that this year myself after planting some of last year's potatoes which we didn't manage to eat (it was a banner crop last year) this spring.
Most of the seed potatoes I received were small enough to plant whole. The one or two that were larger can be cut leaving a few eyes on each piece, dried out overnight and planted, if preferred.

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.
You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

A planting guide will arrive with your seed potatoe order from our growers. Plant seed potato pieces in individual holes or in rows. Space each piece about 10 to 20 inches apart. Regardless of whether you plant in rows or holes, when growing seed potatoes in the ground you're going to want to hill your potato plants two or three times through the growing season with several inches of soil.
One pound of seed will usually plant 5–8 row feet, depending on the variety
