Upstate Abundance potato from Row 7 Seeds. A small baby-sized potato.1 pound of seed potatoes was about a dozen tubers, all sized about extra large egg - perfect size for planting. Planted April 21 in zone 5, about 8-9 inches apart; hilled them up twice. Dug them up after the tops died down in the 3rd week of July - about 85 - 90 days. Harvest was just over 13 pounds of tiny to small potatoes.Most spuds were close to the surface so it might be fun for small children to dig them.Bar-none, the best tasting potato I have ever had, but if you are looking for lots of pounds, this is not the potato to grow. |
