Tom, this is great information and very helpful.
My growing season is short and I dig my potatoes at the end of September and plant in mid May. As a result, my 1/8 - 1/4 inch pea sized tubers are now shrivelled like raisins. Half are somewhat soft while the rest are almost hard. I am going to assume that only the soft ones are worth starting in the 72 cell trays.
In order to look at other planting options with my smaller B sized tubers, I was wondering:
1. What is the smallest size of tuber from which pull sprouts can successfully be taken?
2. What is the smallest size of tuber that you can successfully cut in half and direct plant?
3. Since Baby tubers have the same number of eyes as full sized tubers, should they have the same 10-12 inch planting distance when transplanted from the 72 cell trays?
