And yes, I had ordered short season potatoes last year. Big mistake. I had thought that by repeatedly burying the stems every few weeks it would force the potatoes in the bins to extend out the season. So this year I am using high tuber setting, longer season potatoes and hope to develop layers of stolons.

The
