Cultivation Tips
• Soil requirements: Plant in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid compacted soils so tubers can develop properly.
• Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for best yields.
• Planting: Plant seed potatoes once soil can be worked in early spring. Larger potatoes may be cut into pieces with at least one eye per piece before planting.
• Spacing: Plant seed pieces about 9–12 inches apart in rows spaced 30–36 inches apart.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, particularly when tubers begin forming.
• Hilling: As plants grow, mound soil around stems to protect developing potatoes from sunlight and increase yields.
• Disease resistance: Resistant to late blight (foliage and tuber), PVA, and common scab. Moderately resistant to early blight, black leg, and PVY.

Harvesting
Kennebec potatoes are typically ready to harvest about 90–110 days after planting. For storage potatoes, allow vines to die back before harvesting. This variety is well known for its excellent storage qualities when properly cured.

History
Kennebec potatoes were developed by the USDA and the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station in Presque Isle, Maine, and released in 1948 from a cross between Chippewa and Katahdin. Named after Maine’s Kennebec River, this variety quickly became a dominant potato across the Northeast and Midwest due to its reliability, high yields, and versatility for fresh market and processing.

Charming little solar accent for the garden
This angel statue is absolutely adorable and adds a sweet touch to my front flower bed. The sculpted details are surprisingly refined for such a compact piece, and the solar panel charges well throughout the day to provide a gentle glow at night. The light isn't overly bright, but it creates a lovely ambient effect that's perfect for pathway edges or nestled among plants. The statue is smaller than I initially expected based on the photos, but that actually works in its favor—it's easy to tuck into various spots without overwhelming the space. I've had it outside for a few weeks now through some rain and wind, and it's held up beautifully with no fading or damage to the finish. The solar function has been consistent, lighting up reliably each evening. It's a thoughtful piece that would make a great gift, and the compact size means it works just as well on a small balcony as it does in a larger garden. If you're looking for a subtle, charming accent that requires no wiring or maintenance, this little angel statue is a winner.

Resin
This 8 inch tall resin angel will add the whimsy to your garden. It is solar powered to charge during the day so the butterfly will shine at night. Very durable and waterproof. This angel is very realistic with its wrinkles and dimples. I would recommend this cute little angel, but I feel it is a little overpriced.

Great product! Wish I had found it sooner!
Perfect solution for our umbrella stands! It is slightly taller than original pipe on stand (this is a plus!) Has two bolts instead of one (Another plus) to help secure the umbrella better. Has two rubber reducers to fill in gap around the umbrella pole. Only issue is the shank on the bolt is too long (bolt that secures pipe to base). Extra bolt was too short. We are purchasing another one for another umbrella stand. Great price for the product! And was easy to install, keeps the umbrella straight and upright!
