I am a potato newbie, please help
The one thing my DH has never allowed me to try to grow has been potatoes. I have bought bags of potatoes, used what I needed and "forgot" about them. So for several years, I was not even allowed to buy them. For our anniversary DH got some seed potatoes for me, showing me that all is forgiven. Here is the problem, what do I do with them?
I understand I plant then and I read about cutting them, so each piece has 1-2 eyes, and letting the cut heal etc. Not one site tells me which direction to plant the eyes in. This may sound like a stupid question, but I thought point them us as they become the plant. One of the sites I read just stomp them in the ground. Any advice would be helpful
Also could I put them on the same fertilizer routine as the tomatoes, peppers, etc or do they need special treatment?
Thank you
