Just as crucial as knowing when and what to fertilize with is knowing when to stop fertilizing potato plants. Providing nutrients too late in the season can lead to premature rotting of the crop. For optimal results, cease fertilizing your plants about two to three weeks before you anticipate harvesting.
Additionally, it’s advisable to halt watering your potatoes approximately two weeks before harvest. Potatoes are easier to harvest when the soil is dry, and this practice also helps prevent the crop from rotting in the soil late in the season.
Potatoes can be harvested at various times throughout the summer. If you’re aiming to harvest new or baby potatoes, it’s recommended to do so about two weeks after the foliage stops growing. This timing ensures that the potatoes are at their peak flavor and tenderness.
