My growing potatoes this year, didn't amount to much in a container pot. however, next year I hope to have some raised beds if all goes well with pallet collecting and bin making. I actually got 4 tiny little thumb sized potatoes. Although I must admit, they were from the farmers potato crop this spring. But all an adventure and learning is fun!

Need to get seed potatoes
Store bought have sprout nip sprayed on them to keep the eyes from turning to sprouts
You can get results from store bought ones if you place them in a dark cool place with a few onions.
The gas onions give off causes potatoes to sprout.
You may notice if onions and potatoes are stored together
The potatoes develop eyes and sprouts quickly
For long term storage
Keep them stored in separate areas or your potatoes won't make the winter
They'll have eyes a foot long and be shriveled up

Are thumb sized little ones worth trying to save all winter for seed potatoes next year? These were just an experiment this year with planting the farmers potatoes in a container.
TY for your expertise! I am still very much learning!

If you can sprout them.
They'll grow.
Onions are a great kicker to find out quickly.
You'll know in a week
I have not been successful with onions in the past, not sure when to harvest them, as I rarely record dates down of when planted, But in time I will get better with it perhaps!
Only reason I pulled these potatoes was that the stuff above the dirt died back, so I knew this was a sign to harvest them.
All fun in learning!

Trying not to be a Cliff Claven from Cheers, but if you can find some non processed potatoes from any farm, just about every one of them should sprout.
Dark ( pitch black) places make nature kick in to gear.
If there's a shred of light coming in where you store them.
The eyes will grow towards it.
They are super resilience veggies

No worries, all advice on planting is a welcome, eventually I will become better at growing them! ;-)
