All Blue

Not available for the 2024 growing season – Records of All Blue date back to the late 1800s. However, some claim it to be genetically identical to Russian Blue. With that being said anecdotal evidence states otherwise, please let us know what you find in your gardens! All Blue potatoes are great roasted, steamed, mashed, and sautéed. Similar to the Russian Blue, it is moderately susceptible to scab but is also high in antioxidants.

Late Maturity

Moderately Susceptible to Scab

Great for winter storage

Cooking – Roasted, baked, potato salads, fries

Planting – Place potatoes 4-5” deep and 12-16” apart with at least 3 feet between rows.  Cover potatoes with 2-3” of soil. Larger potatoes can be cut prior to planting. Ensure there is an equal number of eyes on each cut piece.

Growing – Hill plants once they begin to emerge from the soil.  Continue to pull dirt up around the plants as they grow.  Keep the soil moist, but not overly saturated during the growing season.  Containers may need daily watering.

Harvest –  Flowering is often an indicator young potatoes are almost ready to harvest.  For winter storage, potatoes should remain in the ground until light frosts or natural maturity dry down the leaves and stems.
