Please chit the Vitabella Seed Potatoes before planting. See here for info on chitting potatoes.
Make sure to fertilize soil well making sure there is enough Nitrogen, Boron and Magnesium. Plant above the level of the field as Vitabella potatoes will grow down. Higher planting will encourage faster growth and better foliage cover. Give Vitabella potato seed a heat boost before planting. Don't plant too early, wait for soil temperature to rise. Keep an eye on size by regularly trial harvesting. For real salad potatoes don't let potatoes get too large.
