I try to be thrifty in the garden when I can,so these 'eyes' were cut from a bag of grocery potatoes that were sprouting. This is good way to get seed for next spring. I cut them a good 1/2 inch thick,then I'll keep them in the cellar at 0-5c for the next 5 months till planting time.The remaining potatoes we eat.
reds
netted gems
russet
seed potatoes
Haven't heard of this outside of wartime! Potato eyes were distributed by post.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know why you got potato eyes in the mail?
