PLEASE READ THIS LIVE PRODUCT WARRANTY BEFORE ORDERING OUR SEED Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as, proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.

Kennebec is an excellent all-purpose cooking potato favored for its crispy, flavorful flesh. Ideal for mashing or frying. Thin skin makes peeling a snap. Stores well. Resists late blight and tobacco mosaic virus. The Kennebec potato is making quite an imprint on the culinary world... potato-wise. The days of 'just use any old potato' for french fries are gone, and finer restaurants are switching over to the Kennebec for a variety of reasons and for many kinds of dishes. Why? As with all basic food items, the qualities of that particular food are important to how it is cooked by itself and how it is used with other ingredients in recipes. The Kennebec has great potato qualities and, though this strain of potato has been around for over 50 years, it's just beginning to get its due and being noticed by better restauranteurs.
The Kennebec is a large potato, and it looks very pretty with its light tan skin, nice uniform appearance (it usually doesn't have large 'holes' like many other potatoes), and attractive white fleshy insides. The skin is thin so it peels quickly (and is fine to use even unpeeled), and it's a nice oval potato so it is more attractive on the plate than some other irregularly-shaped ones. It is an easily-grown main crop potato, the plant has a high and dependable yield of large potatoes, it resists blight and
Potential Yield: To figure out potential yield, multiply the pounds planted by 10. So, if you plant 5 lbs. of seed potatoes, you should yield 50 lbs of potatoes. This is a good starting point for estimating the yield, however, many gardeners are able to bring in much higher yields due to great soil and great growing conditions.

I Purchase only certified potatoes. Be sure and plant only certified seed potatoes, which are bred to grow in the garden and free of disease and insects. Certified seed potatoes are readily available during spring.
2 Use a shovel or hoe to cultivate the soil to a depth of at least 10 inches. Although potatoes aren't demanding as far as soil is concerned, working in a few shovels of compost or peat moss will improve drainage and enrich the soil.
3 Hoe a trench with the corner of the hoe, and plant the seed potatoes in the trench about 12 inches apart. Leave 2 to 3 feet between each row. If the potatoes are small, plant the entire potato. For large potatoes, cut them into chunks with 2 or 3 "eyes" on each chunk. The eye will look like a small hole or dent, which will eventually turn into a bud.
4 Cover the seed potatoes with about 2 inches of soil. When the plants are approximately 8 inches tall, hoe a mound of soil up to about 4 inches. After they grow another 8 inches, mound the soil halfway up the plant one more time. After the second hilling, add an inch or two every week to keep the new potatoes from being exposed to light.
5 Water the potatoes deeply once a week, but don't let the soil become soggy. Regular watering will prevent bumpy potatoes.
6 Harvest the potatoes when the tops of the plants begin to bloom. Use a shovel to loosen the soil around the plant, then remove the largest potatoes and leave the small ones to continue growing
