Potato Planting
Hello all: New at starting a garden here. I wanted to plant some potatoes;
the person at home depot told me to put toothpicks in a potato, wait till
they sprout, and then plant them. Is this true? And if so,
1. Do I take the toothpicks out after I "puncture" them and then the
sprouts grow out of the holes, or do I leave the toothpicks in?
2. Do I bury the whole potato, sprouts and all or do I let the sprouts
stick through the soil?
Thanks everyone!
Greg
