Planting & Growing Tips
When to Plant:
Plant in early spring, just after your region’s last frost. French
Fingerlings prefer cooler temperatures and are among the first crops you can
sow.
Soil Preparation:
Use well-drained, loose soil with a pH of 5.0–6.0. Amend with
compost or aged manure to support healthy root and tuber development.
Cutting & Curing:
Cut seed potatoes into chunks, each with at least one eye. Let the cut
pieces air-dry for 24 hours to prevent rot when planted.
Spacing & Depth:
Plant pieces 4–6 inches deep, spaced 12 inches apart, in rows 30–36
inches apart.
Hilling:
As plants grow, mound soil up around the base to protect developing
tubers from light and promote larger yields. Indeterminate varieties like
French Fingerlings benefit from frequent hilling.
Watering:
Keep soil evenly moist, especially as tubers form. Water consistently — about 1–2
inches per week is ideal.
Mulching:
Apply a thick layer of mulch to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and regulate
soil temperature.
Harvesting:
Harvest when the vines yellow and die back. Use care when digging to
avoid bruising or cutting the delicate tubers.
Indeterminate Variety: What to Expect
French Fingerling potatoes are indeterminate, which means they:
- Have a longer
growing season
- May yield
multiple harvests in the right conditions
- Require more
frequent hilling
- Are well-suited
to deep containers or raised beds
This growth pattern allows for more tubers over time compared to
determinate types, making them a favorite among experienced gardeners.
