Frequently Asked Questions

How do I manage powdery mildew on All Blue (about 95 days) when it shows up on my foliage?

Look for white, powdery patches on leaves and stems, usually starting midseason on plants grown in dense growth. Remove the worst affected leaves, improve airflow by spacing and pruning nonessential foliage, and water at the soil line so leaves stay dry. If it keeps spreading, spray a labeled potassium bicarbonate or sulfur product and repeat as directed, especially after humid stretches.

How often should I water All Blue during its main growing phase to keep tubers developing well?

During the main growth period (roughly after plants are established and until near maturity), keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—about 1 inch of water per week, split into 2–3 waterings during hot weather. Check by digging 2–3 inches down: if it feels dry at that depth, water; if it’s muddy, hold off and let it dry slightly to avoid rotting.

When are All Blue tubers ready to harvest, and what signs should I look for?

Harvest at about 95 days from planting when the plants begin to yellow and most foliage has died back, and the tuber skins feel firm and not rub off easily. For a final check, gently dig one plant to confirm tuber size and skin set. Avoid harvesting right after heavy rain—aim for dry conditions so skins cure better and storage lasts longer.
