Howdy! This year, I’m trying something different. It’s my 3rd year growing potatoes and I usually get seed potatoes but this year, I planted sprouted red potatoes I had gotten at the store.
The greens look super lush and they’re producing some flowers. Should I just wait til they look absolutely awful to go and harvest? I’m so tempted to peek in on my experiment haha
(My planter box is old and collapsed on one side lol replacing it after I harvest)

You’ve got to wait! Wait until they look like they’re dead. Also I have never once grown from seed potatoes. I always just plant the one that sprout in my pantry and they do just fine for me.
Get in there! Last year we planted shop bought organic spuds and they came up a treat. Happy growing 🎉
I’m doing this for the first time with store bought yellow potatoes. Did you add more dirt as they got bigger or only if your potatoes popped through? I’m hearing mixed things about whether or not adding more dirt is needed.
Definitely too early to harvest. Patience is the Gardener’s virtue 😊
What size soft pots are you using?
