Prepare the soil for planting by digging over and adding plenty of organic material, this will help to improve the soil's moisture-retaining ability and fertility. Beans can also be grown in pots. Choose pots at least 45cm (18in) in diameter and make sure there are plenty of drainage holes.

Plant outdoors only after the last frosts.\u003cbr\u003eSowing seeds early indoors gives a faster and more reliable germination rate, particularly for runner beans. At the end of April sow a single bean seed, 4cm (1.5in) deep, in a 7.5cm (3in) pot filled with multipurpose compost. Water well, label and place on a sunny windowsill to germinate. Seedlings will be ready to plant out after about three weeks. Before planting, put in a cold frame to acclimatise.\u003cbr\u003eAlternatively, beans can be sown directly in the soil between the second half of May and the middle of June. Plant two seeds next to your support about 5cm (2in) deep. Water well. After germination remove the smaller and less robust of the two young plants.

Plant as soon as soil is workable in early spring. Potatoes need fertile, well-drained soil that’s loose and slightly acid (pH 5.8 to 6.5). Hard, compacted soil produces misshapen tubers. Amend heavy clay soil the fall before planting by working organic matter into planting beds. Potatoes form tubers 4 to 6 inches below the soil surface. When stems reach 8 inches tall, draw soil up and around plants, covering half of lower stems. Repeat the process two to three weeks later.

Very often, sweet potatoes are confused with yams and are actually so named in the United States and other countries. The confusion started in the 1930s when growers introduced a new variety of a very sweet, orange-fleshed sweet potato and called it the Louisiana yam to differentiate it from the white sweet potato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the terms are used interchangeably, yams, so named in America, are actually sweet potatoes known by their moist texture and orange flesh. The sweet potato, a tuberous root of the plant compared to yams, are rhizomes with creeping stems that run on the surface of the soil. Rough, scaly skins are typical to yams, which have a long, cylindrical shape, compared to sweet potatoes, which have thin, smooth skins. The feel of the cooked sweet potato is moist, with a sweet taste, while the yam is dry, with a starch taste. Recently, the United States Department of Agriculture mandated that in labelling the word 'yam', it should be always be accompanied by 'sweet potato'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePopular varieties include jewel, with deep orange flesh and reddish brown skin.

It is best to select potatoes which are uniform in size, with thickness in the middle, tapering off at both ends. They should also be free from blemishes, cracks, bruises, soft spots or rot. A decayed spot on the potato gives the potato a bad flavour, even when the bad part is removed. Sweet potatoes should be not be refrigerated but stored in a dark, dry, cool and well-ventilated place where they can last for two weeks or more. Temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit will cause sweet potatoes to sprout or become woody. However, refrigeration turns the natural sugar to starch and alters the flavour. Sweet potatoes are delicate and should be handled with care to prevent bruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNUTRITION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutritionally, sweet potato is an excellent source of calories, especially at a time when food is limited.

Color is retained while cooking. Excellent yields and flavor. Stores well.\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil, Planting, and Care\u003cbr\u003e\nPlants produce potatoes of various shapes and sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\nShapes and sizes of homegrown potatoes will vary even from the same plant.\u003cbr\u003e\nPotatoes are cool-season crops and can survive light frosts. Plant as soon as soil is workable in early spring. Potatoes need fertile, well-drained soil that’s loose and slightly acid (pH 5.8 to 6.5). Hard, compacted soil produces misshapen tubers. Amend heavy clay soil the fall before planting by working organic matter into planting beds. Potatoes form tubers 4 to 6 inches below the soil surface. When stems reach 8 inches tall, draw soil up and around plants, covering half of lower stems. Repeat the process two to three weeks later. Potatoes exposed to sunlight turn green, which causes flesh to taste bitter. Keeping tubers covered prevents greening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome gardeners grow their potatoes in straw, placing straw around the 8-inch-tall stems instead of soil. This method yields potatoes that you don’t have to dig, but simply fish out of the straw. If you use the straw method, be sure to keep your straw layer consistent throughout the growing season. It will most likely break down and need to be topped off during the course of growing the potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of hilling potatoes, some gardeners use layers of straw to cover the stem.\u003cbr\u003e\nRather than hilling these potato plants with soil, gardeners at the Wishard Slow Food Garden in Indianapolis layered straw around the plant stems.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaximum tuber formation occurs when soil temperature is 60 F to 70 F. Tuber formation stops when soil temperature hits 80 F. Mulching soil with straw or other organic matter can help reduce soil temperature. Research has shown that maintaining a 6-inch-thick straw layer around potatoes keeps soil temperatures 10 degrees lower. Potatoes are sensitive to drought. Keep plants consistently moist, especially when plants flower and right after, since this is the peak time when tubers are forming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMove potatoes to a different place in the garden each year to help limit disease and insect problems. For best success, rotate potatoes on a 3-year program, growing them in a different spot for three years in a row before cycling through the growing spots again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caribbean garden seed","offers":[{"title":"1 lbs","offer_id":45759716098234,"sku":"P35411S","price":11.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":45759716131002,"sku":"P35411S","price":38.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/5071\/files\/blue-potato-speciality-potato-color-is-retained-while-cooking-excellent-yields-and-flavor-stores-well-9543546.jpg?v=1775974091"}],"url":"https:\/\/caribbeangardenseed.com\/en-fr\/collections\/potato-seeds.oembed?page=2","provider":"Caribbean garden seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
