I have gotten better at growing potatoes over the years. Thank you for this video, have a nice week!
Opened up my compost for the first time all winter and I had a bunch of potatoes sprouting.
I’ve never done it. I’m excited to try it out. I was talking to my friends grandma and was making fun of the growth in my party with our garlic and potatoes lol. She told me to put it in the ground and wellp you never question a grandma so here I am learning more about it. Thank you for sharing this video and info 🙂
Let's gooooo! Good luck!
Some advice please on planting two crops in one summer. This year I used last year's potatoes from the root cellar, as I always do. Yes they had plenty of sprouts, some a couple feet long. It is early August in PA now and I harvested the first crop in mid-July. Good yield.
Now I want to run a second crop that I can harvest in late Sept or October. I figure if I put these in the root cellar, the average temperature will be quite a bit lower there than the ones I just harvested in July. Hoping this keeps the second batch in storage better. My experience is that the July harvest is usually good for about 9 - 10 months, and then they just get too sprouty to eat. The later crop should last another 3 months, supplying me with potatoes for 12 months of the year.
Trouble is, of the taters I planted in early July only about 30% of them came up, and it took a month for those to emerge above the soil surface. My guess is that they sat in storage for too long (12 months). Or perhaps it was the summer heat? I dunno. What do you think? Thx!
is it like each eye becomes a potato or multiple potatoes?
Eyes are points on a potato where sprouts emerge. All potatoes have eyes so yes, they will sprout from the eyes - usually one potato in our experience.
