POTATO
Potatoes are cool-season crops and can survive light frosts. Plant as soon as soil is workable in early spring. Potatoes need fertile, well-drained soil that’s loose and slightly acid (pH 5.8 to 6.5). Hard, compacted soil produces misshapen tubers. Improve heavy clay soil the fall before planting by working organic matter into planting beds, or amending the soil with aged compost-enriched Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® All Purpose In-Ground Soil. You can also grow potatoes in large pots. Fill them with a high-quality potting mix like Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® All Purpose Container Mix, which also contains nutrient-filled compost.
