The Red Norland Organic Heirloom potatoes are medium to large tubers with smooth, thin, red skin and shallow eyes. Its flesh is white and has great flavor. This potato has good storage with moderate resistance to scab. It provides high yields and was developed at North Dakota State University for northern climates. These compact plants are ideal for small gardens. Red Norlands are one of the earliest maturing potatoes that are a top quality for cooking. It is best to fertilize at planting time and mound the soil over the row as plants emerge to protect tubers from turning green in the sun. Harvest after tops turn yellow. They can be stored at 40 50 degrees F. If temperature is cooler, it turns starch to sugar, and warmer temps may cause them to sprout. Potato is a cool season vegetable that ranks with wheat and rice as one of the most important staple crops in the human diet around the world.
