My sister Pickles and I had both been reading about planting fall potatoes and wanting to try that. Yesterday Pickles checked on the small (~2") potatoes left in the storage closet and found that they all had 2" sprouts on them. Time to experiment!

Since I'm just three weeks out of knee surgery and not in gardening mode for a while, Pickles did some tilling in the garden and planted one 18' row, half with Red Norland and half with Yukon Gold. She planted them whole and also did a final hilling on a few volunteers that came up where the potatoes were planted this past spring.

Here are two articles that might be helpful:
