seed potato sprouting
I tried one limited potato plant. Over a week ago I noticed a bud of
leaf-like things right at the dirtline. It was dark like the dirt and it might have been there for a few days without me spotting it. It was the potato's first top growth. Well over a week later it is still there. No growth no movment no change of color. I think it died. Re-reading one of the books I didn't let the sprout grow to the recommended 1 inch long before planting. I have other seed potatoes some with almost an inch of psrout, some have multiple spruots in a little cluster. SOme are multi-colored purples and tiny tinges of green... are they supposed to look like that? (I remember green potatoes being poisonous. ) I know it is late, my CCE says first week of May. WIth the cool wet weather maybe this will be good anyway. I also intended to harvest as new potatoes so a full season isn't what I expected anyway. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) |
