Potato 'Delaware'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Delaware is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Delaware requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Potatoes are generally grown from the eyes of another potato and not from seed.

Ensure a distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Delaware about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Delaware is a tender plant.

The English word potato comes from Spanish patata.
