I’ve written about this before. Has anyone one out there given it a try yet? These are my first new potatoes of the year, along with some other crops from the ol’ garden, which I used to make fried potatoes and green tomatoes for breakfast Saturday morning.

Here’s a quick review of the process. Bury your seed potatoes in clump-free and rock-free soil about 5 inches apart. Or if you’re me, bury some sprouted potatoes from the pantry! After the green stalks ( like the ones seen in my guess the veggies post) have flowered you know that there are some potatoes under your soil. If you see tops of potatoes sticking out of the ground they will begin to turn green and slightly poisonous, so mulch them to keep the potatoes covered. Now all you have to do is dig around and find them. They will just keep getting bigger and bigger as long as you leave them underground, so keep them in the garden instead of the pantry until fall. Then you can dig up the rest and store them in a cool dry place.
