Not sure what to do.

I have plants growing, but I don't know what to do. Do I wait till they die back etc.? Are there indicators the potatoes have matured enough to dig up. Need guidance

Plant growth above ground isn’t always the best indicator. Some varieties put on spuds while plants are still green, and others don’t until the end of their lifespan. We recommend harvesting based on the days to maturity that we list in the product description. Yukon Gold is an early variety that is ready to harvest about 70-90 days after planting.
You can do a test dig to see if your potatoes are ready – dig carefully to not disturb too much, so if they aren’t ready you can cover them back up and let them keep growing. Happy harvesting!

Quality of product and customer service

Had a few potatoes go soft and squishy and after reaching out to territorial seed, they immediately sent another set of seed potatoes and I was able to put a few of the good Yukon golds to soil. They’re growing super vigorously and look very healthy, helping work in my super clay laden soil. Looking forward to using the rest of the seeds I received from them and buying more in the future!

Solanum tuberosum Our favorite comfort food has proven to be an amazing source of nutrients and nourishment. High in vitamins, such as vitamin C, they rival broccoli as a source of phytonutrients. We offer only certified disease-free seed potatoes. Easy to grow, we will include complete cultural directions with each order.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding.

Culture
• Potatoes prefer fertile, loose, well-drained soil
• Forking beds is recommended
• Apply a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen and high in phosphorus such as bone meal — use 5-7 pounds per 100 square feet
• Proper soil pH of 5.2-6.0 will help avoid scab
• Irrigate thoroughly when needed, allow the soil to dry out somewhat before watering again
Hilling: as plants grow, cover with soil, mulch, or compost, while leaving top-growth exposed
• Repeat hilling process 3-4 times throughout season

Direct Sowing
• Plant potatoes up to 3 weeks before your last frost date
• Larger potatoes can be cut into smaller pieces to use as seed — allow the cut potato to heal before planting to prevent rot (2-3 days at 70°F)

Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Colorado potato beetle, tuber flea beetle, potato aphid, potato psyllid, potato tuber worm/moth
• Insect control: Pyrethrin and row covers
• Common diseases: Early and late blight, white mold, botrytis, leaf roll virus, mosaic virus, verticilium wilt, potato scab
• Disease prevention: 4-year crop rotation, and fungicide applications

Harvest & Storage
• "New" potatoes can be harvested from early varieties beginning 60 days after planting
• Once top-growth dies down, leave in the ground for 2 weeks and then harvest
• Dig tubers carefully, brush off soil and allow skins to dry before storing
• Standard potatoes yield about 10 times the amount originally planted
• Fingerling potatoes yield 15-20 times the amount originally planted
• Store in a dark location; 40-45°F and 90% relative humidity
