Red Pontiac Seed Potatoes - 5 Pounds - for 2025 Planting Seeds Certified for Growers Short Tuber Red Skin Potato Growing Home Farm Sustainable Healthy Vegetable

I’m thrilled with my Red Pontiac and Yukon Gold potatoes growing in 5-gallon buckets on my patio, perfect for my zone 6b/7a short season. The potatoes arrived with dirt on them, which prevents drying and preserves beneficial bacteria. The Yukon Gold bag had slight moisture, so I sprayed them lightly with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let them dry without rinsing as a precaution against unwanted bacteria. This is my first time planting food, and the plants are thriving in containers—I can’t wait to harvest!✅Plant date: 4-17-25Bucket 1: Yukon Gold (brown skin color)Bucket 2: Yukon Gold✅Plant date: 4-19-25Bucket 3: Red Pontiac (red skin color)✅Soilless Mix Homemade - based on James Prigioni’s recipe on YouTube🔹3:2:.5:.5 ratioCoco coir 3 (5gal buckets)Mushroom compost 2 (5gal buckets)Vermiculite 0.5 (5gal buckets)Perlite 0.5 (5gal buckets)I did half because I only had one 40lb / .75 CF bag of mushroom compost, and it filled one bucketCoco coir 1.5Mushroom compost 1Vermiculite 0.25Perlite 0.25This halved mix was enough for 3 buckets.✅Nutrient mix per 5-gallon bucketSOP - 1/2 tsp (2.25 g)FeSOHO - 1.5 tspBone meal 1/4 cupShultz (10-12-12) 1 TBSBlood meal 2 tspKelp 2 TBSThis nutrient mix is good for plants requiring nitrogen in the early growing stage. For instance, it’s not good for carrots.🛑It’s not a good fertilizer mix to use every 2-3 weeks on container potatoes because the nitrogen is too high.✅Use a liquid water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks until foliage turns yellow, usually two weeks before harvest. Fish emulsion, Morbloom 0-10-10, or any water-soluble fertilizer with very low N and high PK ratios should work.✅Layering determinate potatoes - based on Gary Pilarchik on YouTubeI did 2 potatoes on the bottom and 3 towards the top because they grow in a single layer.🛑Don’t do this with indeterminate potatoes- they grow in multiple layers.Walmart: Food grade bucketsDollar tree: colorful baskets for drainage

I planted all of these and they are growing nicely, and I'm about ready to go dig some and try them! They came up very quickly and looked like a very nice, healthy plant

received the seed potatoes, moldy and black. the sprouts were a good size but black and broken off.To bad because the potatoes were a good size.I believe they were packaged wet and then the package was sealed up air tightI have a picture if you need one

I have the most beautiful healthy potato plants I've ever seen in my garden. I can't say enough good things about this product. The seed potatoes were in perfect condition for planting, and if they produce potatoes as well as they have grown, I should have an abundant harvest as well.

These seed potatoes are growing extremely well, very happy with them. Can’t wait to harvest all my potatoes this year.

Great seeds produce good food

I wasn't very hopeful because I purchased these late in the season and they came to me soft with eyes falling off but I'm very pleased. My potato plants look amazing and my son the gardener was shocked at how healthy they look and im looking forward to the harvest!
