I have been tempted to try planting them in the fall. Just a couple dozen.
Everyone thinks they would rot, possibly so.
But,if taters couldnt lay in the ground overwinter, and grow next year, then
how did they exist before people farmed them? Or have they had that ability
bred out of them in our attempts to enhance other traits?
I'm guessing it would work.
But, you wouldn't get a good percentage of plants coming up.
I've had volunteer potatoes to come up, but it's been pretty rare. I'd think that if the winter was on the mild side, and not too wet, it'd be possible for them to lay there without rotting.
