The 'Golden Globe' Potato is a high-yield, medium to large-sized tuber with a radiant golden skin and a light-yellow flesh. This gourmet potato variety is a fantastic alternative to Yukon Gold, offering a rich, buttery flavor; a waxy texture; and low starch. It's also a great source of dietary fiber, magnesium, and potassium.
A member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), this herbaceous perennial is typically grown as an annual. The 'Golden Globe' Potato is a robust, vining plant that produces an abundance of potatoes that store exceptionally well. The plants are resilient, with a low bruising potential and resistance to PVY, leaf roll virus, storage rot, and black leg, and moderate resistance to common scab and early blight.
Potatoes thrive in sunny spots with fertile, well-drained soil that has an acidic pH. To ensure the best texture and flavor, keep the soil evenly moist until the flowering stage concludes, then reduce watering.
As a cool-season vegetable, potatoes are one of the first plants to be sown in the garden. They can be direct sown into the garden in early spring, 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost date. They require cold temperatures to germinate and grow and can tolerate moderate frost.
