Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Bora Valley potatoes thrive in loose, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Regular, consistent watering is key to preventing stress and promoting uniform tuber development. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of tubers. Hilling soil around the base of the plants as they grow helps protect tubers from sunlight exposure, preventing greening and bitterness.
When to Grow
Plant Bora Valley mini tubers in early spring after the soil has warmed to at least 50°F. In warmer climates, a fall planting is possible for a winter harvest. Avoid planting when frost is a risk, as potatoes are not frost-hardy. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches and incorporate compost or well-rotted manure. Plant mini tubers 3-4 inches deep with the sprouts facing upward. Space them 10-12 inches apart in rows that are at least 24 inches apart. Water immediately after planting, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not soggy.
How to Grow
Once plants emerge, apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water consistently, aiming for about 1-2 inches per week. Begin hilling soil around the plants once they reach 6-8 inches tall, repeating every few weeks as they grow. Reduce watering as the plants mature and the foliage begins to yellow, signaling that tubers are ready for harvest.
How to Save
- Use tissue culture propagation for disease-free mini tubers if available.
- Cure harvested tubers by storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for 1-2 weeks.
- Save small, healthy tubers from the previous season for replanting.
- Cut larger tubers into sections (each with at least one "eye") and allow them to dry for 24 hours before planting.
- Store seed tubers in a cool (35-40°F), dry place until the next planting season.
FAQ
Can I grow Bora Valley potatoes in containers?
Yes! Choose a deep container (at least 12 inches) with drainage holes. Use a loose, well-draining soil mix, plant mini tubers 4 inches deep, and hill soil as the plants grow. Keep soil evenly moist.
Why are my potato plants producing lots of leaves but few tubers?
Excess nitrogen can lead to lush foliage at the expense of tubers. Ensure balanced fertilization, adequate spacing, and proper hilling to encourage underground tuber formation rather than excessive leaf growth.
How do I know when my Bora Valley potatoes are ready to harvest?
Wait until the foliage yellows and dies back. For baby potatoes, harvest earlier at about 70 days. For full-size tubers, wait 90-110 days, then dig gently to avoid damaging the skins.
