Although I'm mostly very behind with the garden this year, my seed-grown potatoes have been coming on nicely.
Potato seedlings getting a bit big for that pot
I've dug over half the bed where potatoes are going, so I dug a trench, added some horse muck and garden compost, and eased the seedlings out of the pot.
Baby potatoes!
To my delight, I discovered that many of the seedlings have tiny little potatoes already growing on their roots. Some have five or six pinhead-sized tubers and others, like the one in the photo, have one or two half-inch long little spuds. This way of growing potatoes is much more fun than the usual way! I hope it works.
