| Seed Potato Labels. 2.19.19 |
These are the first batches of potatoes that I plan to plant. I bought 2 packages at the hardware store, Kinnebec and Russian Banana. Not having grown either variety before, it's nice to try.
I had lots of the smaller size russets in the garage over the winter, with 6 inch or longer sprouts. I broke off the sprouts, and am chitting them in a sunny window so new, stouter sprouts with shorter interstems will grow.

I still have packages of Yukon Gold, Red Norland, and I think some fresh Idaho Russet seed potatoes. That's enough. I don't know if the overwintered ones will work, or produce as much. I'll wait a couple of weeks before chitting the other batches. Too much to plant, otherwise.
