The best varieties of early potatoes

Early potato varieties

Varieties of early potatoes, depending on how many days after germination (and not planting!) They are ready for use, are divided into early ripening, early ripening and mid-early.

• early ripening ripen 40-60 days after germination;
• early maturing in 61-70 days;

Early potato varieties are subdivided into:

• ultra early (ripen 45-55 days after germination);
• early ripe (grow 60-70 days);
• medium early (the crop can be harvested in 75-80 days).

By planting early potatoes, you can dig up mature tubers in the first half of summer. It's time to enjoy the fruits of the new harvest, especially since the cellar with autumn supplies is already empty.

However, keep in mind that early and ultra-early varieties are stored worse than later ones (no more than 5 months). Therefore, if you are not going to grow such potatoes for sale, plant them in small quantities.
