| Sprouted Fingerling Potatoes in Furrows. 2.13.16 |
It's too early to plant, but they are already sprouted vigorously. So I planted them.
These are in furrows, with the sprout barely covered with soil.
If they rot in the soil, that's OK. If they grow, even better.
This is 1/2 of a 4x8 foot raised bed. For 2 years, this bed grew garlic. Last summer and fall I grew buckwheat to rebuild the soil.
The other half of this bed may also get potatoes. I saw starts of Yukon Gold and some red potatoes at Fred Meyer, yesterday.
I spent an hour de-sprouting last year's potatoes. I always grow way more than I can eat, and usually plant the little ones. I plan to add purple potatoes to my usuals (Yukon gold). As a matter of fact, tonight's supper will be potatoes on a bed of sauerkraut with sausage.
