Simply Seed™ - Russet Burbanks - 5 LBS - Perfect for Fall Planting!

The Idaho Potato has long been the cornerstone of Idaho's reputation. It goes by various names, including the "Idaho Netted Gem" and simply "The Russet." This particular potato is the most widely cultivated in the United States. We have personally enjoyed thousands of them over the years, baked to perfection, and each one has been just as delicious as the first. Renowned botanist Dr. Burbank even acknowledged the fortuity of breeding this remarkable variety.

When it comes to cultivating potatoes, it is important to consider their cultural requirements. These tubers thrive best in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. It is recommended to prepare the beds using a fork to ensure optimal growing conditions. When it comes to fertilization, it is advisable to use a low nitrogen, high phosphorus fertilizer such as bone meal, applying 5-7 pounds per 100 square feet. Additionally, maintaining a soil pH of 5.2-6.0 is crucial to prevent scab and promote healthy growth. Irrigation should be thorough, allowing the soil to partially dry before watering again. As the plants grow, they should be hilled - covered with soil, mulch, or compost, while keeping the top growth exposed. This hilling process should be repeated 3-4 times throughout the growing season.

The method of direct sowing is ideal for planting potatoes. They should be planted up to three weeks before the last frost date. For larger potatoes, they can be cut into smaller pieces for use as seed, but it is important to allow the cut potato to heal for 2-3 days at a temperature of 70°F to prevent rot.
