Potatoes Help Please

14 years ago

I will be using a potato Bin this summer and I can't find a listing of Late Season Potatoes. Does anyone know if there is a list of late season potatoes and where it is ?

Thank you for any help with this.

You need to check on the reds. As far as I ever heard or experienced, they will only produce in the first 6". I just grow white Kennebec in my potato bin. They will continue growing all the way up as long as you keep filling the bin with soil up to the top couple of leaves whenever the plants reach arount 7" tall. I will grow until just before a hard frost.

The only potato I know for a fact will produce beyond the bottom level in a tower is a Russet Burbank, given the right conditions. Most potatoes are essentially determinate, producing all their spuds in one flush. Given enough time (probably at least 135-150 days) russets can produce several flushes.
