Potatoes need to be planted real early...so you're late already! I found a leftover fingerling potato lying on top of the ground, and sprouting..from last summer ! Don't know why it didn't freeze and ruin. The tops can get killed back by early frost and still grow again...I have a bag of heavily sprouted potatoes I plan to plant somehow..Maybe lay them on top of the ground in an out of the way garden spot and keep them mulched. The potatoes will stay on top of the ground, so easy to rake the mulch off and pick up. Not as heavy a harvest, but labor saving...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:06:39 -0400 "Lisa Lepore" <[email protected]> writes: > I tried to grow potatoes last year in a bin in compost.
