Planting Potatoes

I’ve been doing the same – buying potatoes and planting them, rather than buying seed potatoes. It has also meant I’ve planted some interesting varieties as I’ve discovered them in various stores – including Royal blue and Saphire. So far there have been no problems.
My harvests thus far have not been impressive – I’ve got back less than 4 times the quantity. (I didn’t think to weigh before planting). I believe that my occasional watering is mostly responsible, and I’d not fertilized them at all.
The upcoming harvests should be better. I’ve been watering more regularly so I hope to get a better harvest. I’ll keep you up to date.
