What you need to do to harvest young potatoes before your neighbors: incredibly simple
The first thing that pleases gardeners in their summer cottages is a ruddy radish. Only young potatoes can compete with it in taste.
Only you have to wait longer for the young potato harvest. Let's find out how you can influence the rate of root crop ripening and harvest before your neighbors.
It turns out that there is nothing complicated about this if you pay attention to the early varieties, of which three have long been loved by summer residents.
They say that with the right approach, the first tubers can be harvested already at the beginning of summer.
To surprise your neighbors, choose ultra-early and early varieties for sowing.
1. The first of them is called "Ariel" by summer residents. Potatoes are dug up 45-50 days after the shoots appear. In addition, this variety does not suffer from late blight.
If desired and with the availability of planting areas, young potatoes of this variety can be harvested at least twice in one summer.
2. The second variety is "Antonina". It has almost the same characteristics, but is resistant to only potato cancer. It is susceptible to late blight and nematode attacks.
3. The Alena variety is generally unpretentious, not particularly demanding of soil and fertilizers, and grows without any claims to care. As for fungal and bacterial diseases, this happens to it extremely rarely.
