When to plant potato in East Arnhem
We don't have planting times for potato in East Arnhem yet.
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for East Arnhem. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A rewarding crop planted from certified seed potatoes in late winter to spring, and again in late summer, for harvest about 3 to 4 months later. Hill soil or mulch up around the stems as they grow so tubers stay covered; sunlight turns them green and toxic. Don't plant supermarket potatoes, which can carry disease.
