For growing potatoes, select the perfect patch of ground for your potatoes in the kitchen garden. This does not mean that you cannot grow potatoes in anything else.

Growing potatoes at your very own place is not at all tricky as it is with some other vegetables and crops. Potatoes do not need a particular climate for their growth, but March is perfect for the better growth of this crop.

Before growing potatoes, you need to choose the most favorite and best variety of potatoes. Potatoes offer over 400 varieties and you can select from them. Mostly, only a hundred types of potatoes are seen in the markets worldwide. The potatoes in most of the areas are not liked sweet as a potato should not be like a sweet potato. For that, you need to ask a local grower of your town who will help you select the best seeds for growing potatoes. The trickiest part about growing potatoes is selecting the right kind of seeds. Some varieties of potatoes do not grow well in certain areas while some are perfect for other areas.

Potatoes need the right amount of sunlight but direct and too much sunlight affects the growth of the potatoes and potatoes in such a condition will either not taste well or give some other problem later on. Keep potatoes away from frost as frosting is the worst enemy when it comes to better growth of potatoes. If unexpected frosting begins, cover the potatoes immediately and protect them from the frost.  Potatoes if planted in March get ready for harvest in June or even September.  So get started with the growing of potatoes in your kitchen garden and enjoy feasts later on with this yummy vegetable.
