Store bought eating potatoes that sprouted, don't know the kind. Anyway back in Feb. I had some sprouting when I was making a stew, so I cut the sprouts off pretty thick. Way too wet to plant right then, so I got some potting soil and put them in a red solo plastic cup. Left in my camper where I kept heat at night to keep things from freezing. I just a short time they were up and growing, still to wet in the garden. When the freeze time was over I set them out in the yard on a table, until today. Garden finally got dry, so I fixed a place and set them out. Lots of them had small potatoes just under the top, some as big as a half dollar, but most the size of a quarter. Set them out with just the green tops out of the ground. Plan to pull more dirt to them as they grow. Anybody here ever done such a thing? Way too late to plant potatoes the conventional way, but I thought what the heck. lets see what happens. Thinking about putting straw or maybe grass clippings along the row to keep the heat down. Any ideas or advice welcome. miles
