large potatoes with a delicious taste and an enhanced tolerance to blight with
Kennebec seed potatoes for sale from Harris Seeds. This large multipurpose
potato is attractive, with light tan skin, attractive white flesh, and uniform
appearance. The skin is thin, so it peels quickly and is tender and flavorful
when left on the potato. Kennebec is a nice oval potato with shallow eyes for
easy washing, smooth peeling, and attractive presentation on the plate. These
easily-grown main crop potato plants bring a high and dependable yield of large
potatoes, and they resist blight and other diseases well. Tubers store well
through the winter. Kennebec's rich potato taste and consistent large size
make them popular not only with home cooks but also in the culinary world.

Gorgeous potato plants
"The Kennebec potato plants grew quickly and put on beautiful white blooms. Great for an ornamental potato tower! They are vigorous plants with no major pest problems. I'm looking forward to the harvest."
1st timer and it was epic!!
"I did 2 25 Gallon grow bags at the start of april. I harvested a few weeks ago and pulled 39.4 LBS. They are so good tho and were so easy to grow! Now i need to learn how-to keep them for long term storage."

Potato Kennebec
"We were so amazed yesterday when we starting digging up the Kennebec potatoes! We are weighing them as we dig them up. In just the first 3 plants we have over 7 lbs!! Will be buying these next year!"
Only midseason
"So far, so good...was a little disappointed with germination (only around 60-70%), but the plants that came up are doing quite well. Will try to remember to edit this, after harvest..."
A few of the seed
"A few of the seed potatoes were duds but the rest seem to be growing well."
Second crop of potatoes
"I bought seed potatoes from Harris a bit late, so my choices were limited. I received 50 lbs of Russet, 50 lbs of Yukon Gold and 3 lbs of Kennebec. All potatoes looked horrible, some rotten, but they all had small chits. Harris assured me that despite appearances their seed potatoes will perform well. They were right. I planted seeds into mostly 20-gallon containers, some into 10-gallon ones. By then, they all had at least 0.25 inch chits, because I kept them in smaller plastic containers filled with wet peat moss. This was done from March 15 to April 5. All seeds were permanently planted into well fertilized soil (containers only!) from April 1 to April 18. By mid July I harvested everything. Yukon Gold and Kennebec blew my mind. I did not expect such beautiful tubers. Kennebecs were in six 10-gallon containers. All others were in 18 and 20-gallon containers. Russets disappointed. The sizes of them were far from grocery store tubers for baking. I believe that I rushed harvesting them. Should have waited until after Labor Day. My fault. Now, I am trying to plant the second crop. If only I could get chits from young potatoes of the first crop. They have been sitting in my peat moss set ups for 9 days without any sign of chits. Anyone could give me good advice how to get chits out of young potatoes fast? In case you are laughing at my attempt to get the second crop, I know very well that autumn frosts would kill my new plants in October for sure. Except frosts will not see my young plants because they all will be sitting on steel shelves on wheels. Every cold night those containers will be wheeled into a spacious warm garage until about 10 am. So, they will be under direct sun during the day and at 50-60 degrees F inside the warm place at night. Please check out July 2021 photos of Kennebecs and Yukon Gold."
Q&A
- Do these potatoes have a specific timeline of shipping out I had placed an order and havent received anything from you in regards to shipping Thank you
- Hi Joann, Yes, potatoes ship at certain times. Your potatoes are scheduled to arrive today - 4/26/21! Thank you for your order!
- are kennebec and yokon gold potatoes indterminate?
- Hi Bob, Yukon Gold is considered an early season variety that will require mounding of soil around the main stem of the plant as it grows, which would classify it as an indeterminate variety. Kennebec is considered a late maturing variety that will require mounding of soil around the main stem of the plant as it grows, which would classify it as an indeterminate variety.
