At  early summer of old potatoes are no longer wanted, he had not taste good and even annoying. Privoznaya same young in our market are selling at exorbitant prices. However, we eat their fresh potatoes by the end of June, because more than 10 years, I grow early potatoes through seedlings.

Picked up early varieties Sineglazka Lipetsk, Sorokadnevka, Luck, Zhukovsky early. I begin with the vernalization: my tubers in warm water, spread out in containers with moist (not wet) sawdust and put on a cold porch (12-150). By the time of landing on the tubers formed strong thick shoots and roots of the lobe.

In late April, pre-prepared hole scheme 35to70 cm throw for half a bucket of compost and a handful of ashes, put the tuber sprouts up and go to sleep it all the earth. Soil moisture at this time enough, so watering is not needed. To grow sprouts are not affected by frost, hilling the plants two or three times with his head. In the future, the usual care.

Of course, because of damage to the roots when planting seedlings and young shoots of podmerzaniya (hilling fully protected) with the seedling crop produced small (10-15 tubers weighing 100-120 g). However, this method has its advantages: getting a very early harvest, do not use protective equipment (potatoes manages to get away from Phytophthora and the Colorado potato beetle), released early in the plot, and can be something else to grow. For example, I once again placed on him radishes, onions, or sow lettuce, dill, daikon. And the potatoes planted in traditional terms, gives mid-July the second crop of young tubers.
