I’m blogging during the process!
Let some red potatoes sprout too much by sitting around outside of the refrigerator. Decided to jump in for real trying to grow my own bunch!
Day 1. This is what I am starting with. (August 31, 2024)
Day 14. I see green leaves starting to sprout.
Day 17. Not dead yet for certain.
Day 21. The largest replanted in its own grow bag.
Okay, I am on my way! This actually looks like the process is working. I’ve read online these take a few months to grow. It is just barely getting into fall and normally you are supposed to start these in early spring. I’ve bought soil from Lowes or Home Depot our local hardware and garden suppliers. Watering every day. We’ve started with very hot summer days and currently transitioning into cooler early fall days. The easy part is done. I do not know if new potatoes will grow or not. This is just the original potatoes sprouting greenery.
Day 30. Transplanted a second plant to new 10 gallon grow bag. Growth is over 12 inches tall, soil added above the root ball which is about in the middle of the fabric pot.
