## Description

Red Pontiac Potatoes are absolutely divine, featuring thin, red skin and white, waxy flesh that holds its shape well in cooking, and a slightly sweet, creamy flavor. Perfect for potato salads, creamy mashed potatoes, and crispy roasted spuds. Red Pontiac is a favorite among gardeners, combining vibrant color, great taste, and high productivity. Their early maturity ensures a quicker harvest, making them ideal for gardeners eager to enjoy fresh potatoes in a shorter growing season. Known for their disease resistance and adaptability, Red Pontiac Potatoes are also tolerant of a variety of soil types and growing conditions, ensuring a reliable crop year after year. The plants grow tall and sturdy, producing an abundant harvest of medium to large-sized tubers that are easy to dig and store. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, Red Pontiac Potatoes are an excellent, low-maintenance choice that delivers delicious results with every harvest. About Seed Potatoes: Seed potatoes produce potatoes that are an exact clone of the mother seed potato. Seed potatoes are not the same as true potato seeds, which are seeds harvested from the berries of potato plants. True potato seeds will not produce genetically identical potatoes to the potato plant. Growers grow from seed potatoes to ensure the desired qualities (disease-resistance, high-yields) of a potato is passed down.

Review: Good potatoes - Great germination and great crop
Review: Potatoes are thriving in 5 gal buckets—I can’t wait to harvest! - I’m thrilled with my Red Pontiac and Yukon Gold potatoes growing in 5-gallon buckets on my patio, perfect for my zone 6b/7a short season. The potatoes arrived with dirt on them, which prevents drying and preserves beneficial bacteria. The Yukon Gold bag had slight moisture, so I sprayed them lightly with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let them dry without rinsing as a precaution against unwanted bacteria. This is my first time planting food, and the plants are thriving in containers—I can’t wait to harvest! ✅Plant date: 4-17-25 Bucket 1: Yukon Gold (brown skin color) Bucket 2: Yukon Gold ✅Plant date: 4-19-25 Bucket 3: Red Pontiac (red skin color) ✅Soilless Mix Homemade - based on James Prigioni’s recipe on YouTube 🔹3:2:.5:.5 ratio Coco coir 3 (5gal buckets) Mushroom compost 2 (5gal buckets) Vermiculite 0.5 (5gal buckets) Perlite 0.5 (5gal buckets) I did half because I only had one 40lb / .75 CF bag of mushroom compost, and it filled one bucket Coco coir 1.5 Mushroom compost 1 Vermiculite 0.25 Perlite 0.25 This halved mix was enough for 3 buckets. ✅Nutrient mix per 5-gallon bucket SOP - 1/2 tsp (2.25 g) FeSOHO - 1.5 tsp Bone meal 1/4 cup Shultz (10-12-12) 1 TBS Blood meal 2 tsp Kelp 2 TBS This nutrient mix is good for plants requiring nitrogen in the early growing stage. For instance, it’s not good for carrots. 🛑It’s not a good fertilizer mix to use every 2-3 weeks on container potatoes because the nitrogen is too high. ✅Use a liquid water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks until foliage turns yellow, usually two weeks before harvest. Fish emulsion, Morbloom 0-10-10, or any water-soluble fertilizer with very low N and high PK ratios should work. ✅Layering determinate potatoes - based on Gary Pilarchik on YouTube I did 2 potatoes on the bottom and 3 towards the top because they grow in a single layer. 🛑Don’t do this with indeterminate potatoes- they grow in multiple layers.

### ⭐ shipment gone bad, wet
*by L***S on April 21, 2025*
