I am growing potatoes like my life depended on it.
I have thirty hills of potatoes--two different kinds of white potato.
I bought two 5 lb. bags and planted them all.
Once I'd planted the thirty hills in neat rows, 3 x 10 plants,healthy and green, I just buried the remaining potatoes and parts of potato in the straw/mulch borders around the chokecherry tree.
I couldn't just throw them in the compost; I had to try growing them first and they are growing, bright and green; the two varieties have slightly different shapes to their robust leaves.
Also, there were a few places in the front garden where a wee bit of potato was left in the ground from last year and it has now become a new potato plant.
