Plant the First Early Pentland Javelin potatoes in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Plant them 4-6 inches deep and 12-15 inches apart in rows.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Add a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds. Fertilize the plants during the growing season to promote healthy and robust growth.

HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Harvest when the potato plants have flowered and the foliage begins to yellow and die back. Gently dig around the plants to unearth the potatoes. Allow them to dry before storing in a cool, dark place.
