Repeat this process during the first month of the plant's development. Hoe occasionally between the plants to aerate the soil and eliminate weeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003ePotato harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHarvest after approximately 120 days of cultivation from July to September.
