Begin chitting potatoes in late January and plant them from mid-March to April, when soil temperatures are between 6-10°C. For chitting, place seed potatoes with eyes upward in a light, frost-free area to encourage the main sprout's growth. Plant them in a sunny location, spacing them 12 inches apart in 4-inch deep trenches. Ensure consistent soil moisture, particularly during tuber formation, but reduce watering as the leaves yellow. Regular weeding is essential for healthy growth. For pest management, be vigilant of potato beetles and aphids, using organic methods and rotating crops annually. Harvest new potatoes post-flowering, and mature potatoes once the foliage has died back. Store harvested potatoes in a cool, dark, ventilated area, and check them regularly for rot. At the season's end, enrich the soil with compost or a green manure crop. Be aware of potato blight, identifiable by brown leaf patches and reddish-brown spots on tubers.

Plant sunflower seeds after the frost from late March to May in well-drained soil, 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, with 30 inches between rows. For indoor-started sunflowers, transplant them outside after the last frost and acclimate them to full sunlight. Support taller varieties with a bamboo cane, tying the stem loosely. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, and use mulching for moisture retention and weed control. Manage pests like aphids, beetles, caterpillars, and slugs by hand picking them at night or in the early morning. Harvest sunflowers when petals dry and the back of the head turns brown, cutting the stem a foot below the head and hanging it upside down to dry seeds. After harvesting, save some seeds for the next season, remove old plants, and prepare the soil for the next planting cycle.
