What are some common mistakes you can make when growing potatoes
Since potatoes are a heat-loving crop, the vegetable does not like frost.
Therefore, if a sharp cold snap is predicted in the near future, it is better to postpone planting.
A good potato harvest can be obtained even with summer planting.
In addition, potatoes will not grow well with other vegetable crops.
For example, next to broccoli, beans, corn, eggplant, peas, radishes, onions and garlic.
Due to this proximity, the potatoes will not grow properly.
In addition, these inappropriate combinations with other vegetables can attract a large number of pests.

Potatoes, by their botanical origin, are a plant of moderately cool climates and relatively high air humidity.
Potatoes begin to grow when the soil temperature reaches +8˚С; at temperatures above +30˚С, potato plants are severely inhibited.
