If you are reading this, you or someone you know may have been told they need to have a hysterectomy and also have their ovaries removed. This has been a controversial issue for many years, but until recently most doctors recommended removal of the ovaries after about age 45. The reason for this was that removal of the ovaries would prevent women from developing ovarian cancer.
The growing time for red potatoes can be from 70 to 120 days, depending on the variety you choose to plant and what size you like your potatoes.
Many potatoes mature within 80 to 120 days after planting, depending on cultivar and conditions. For new potatoes (usually about an inch or so--or 2.5 cm--in diameter), a general guideline is to harvest them when the plant is in bloom. If you are cutting up potato pieces for planting, do so a 1-2 days ahead of time. 2  This will give them the chance to form a protective layer, both for moisture retention and rot resistance. 3  You may start planting earlier, as soon as soil can be worked, but be aware that some crops will be ruined by a frost.
