Follow these simple steps to prepare your potatoes for planting & ensure a good harvest…

Spring is here, which means, it’s time to plant potatoes! 🙂  Depending on where you live, you may plant your potatoes as early as late February or early March, but here in Ohio, we typically plant around the beginning of April. Areas further north may still need to wait a few more weeks. In general, you should plan to plant your potatoes about 6 weeks before your last frost date.
