In the Garden with Andre Viette - Potatoes (Part One) - 2/28/26 Hour 2

Growing potatoes is a rewarding and relatively simple gardening project. These hardy tubers thrive in loose, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and need plenty of sunlight to develop healthy yields. Andre Viette talks about planting seed potatoes after the danger of frost has passed, burying them a few inches deep with the sprouts facing upward. Keep the soil consistently moist, and as the plants grow, mound soil around their stems to protect developing tubers from sunlight. In just a few months, you’ll be able to harvest fresh, flavorful potatoes straight from your garden. In the Garden airs live on Saturday mornings between 8 - 11 a.m. eastern time.
