'Clancy' grows in a diversity of colors and has great quality; it even won the 2019 All-America Selections award! Small, ¾\"-1½\" potatoes are both round and fingerling shaped with smooth skin in a mix of shades between rose gold and red. This \"creamer\" potato has a pale yellow to white interior and creamy texture when cooked. To increase harvest, hill soil around plants a few times as they grow. Potatoes can be harvested any time after they flower and before a hard freeze. Seeds are pelleted with an organic coating for easy handling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolanum tuberosum (hybrid)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e85 – 110 Days from transplanting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolanaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnknown; only in cultivation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAnnual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLush, green foliage 24\"–40\" tall is followed by pinkish lavender flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e'Clancy' is an ideal \"creamer\" potato with fine texture, making it very versatile. Potatoes may be round or elongated (fingerling); the skins can be rose blush to red or creamy yellow, some with red spots or dots. 'Clancy' was bred by Peter van Hest; it is the first potato from seed that is an AAS winner. Seeds are sterile which helps prevent diseases from spreading like they can on a tuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNot recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn mild climates\u003c\/i\u003e, start seeds in mid-summer for a fall crop.

When soil is mounded, or hilled, on the plant stems, it encourages new roots to sprout from the buried stem, and more potatoes will develop on those roots. Hilling also preserves the harvest because if\/when potato tubers are exposed to light for long periods of time, they produce chlorophyll and other substances that make them bitter. At least one of these substances, solanine, is toxic to humans in large amounts. HILLING PROCESS: As plants grow, mound soil and\/or compost around them a few times during the growing season until you have hilled about 12\" of soil around plants. It is a good idea to also mulch the hills to reduce weeds, retain moisture, and help prevent pests. Alternatively, some gardeners plant potatoes in a barrel, grow bag, or similar structure, and add soil and\/or compost as plants grow. To harvest, the structure can be opened or tipped over, exposing the potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUse a flat-tine digging fork or shovel, digging widely around the hill to avoid damaging the potatoes. Potatoes may be harvested in stages for a longer harvest period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRESH NEW POTATOES: Harvest may begin any time after plants have begun to flower. Potatoes harvested at this stage should be enjoyed as soon as possible, as their soft skins don't allow for long-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTORAGE POTATOES: Once the foliage has died back or is removed, potato skins toughen which protects them from drying out, extending their storage life. Harvest 2 to 3 weeks after the foliage has died back. If your season is short and foliage has not died back, you can cut the plants down at the soil level three weeks prior to harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCuring Storage Potatoes\u003c\/i\u003e: Unwashed potatoes should be cured in a dry, well-ventilated location for 2 to 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
