Don't give up hope. TPS's are different than growing from tubers. I start my seeds in tiny 1" x 1" seed trays. When the roots start coming out the bottom I step them up into a six" pot. Then into a one or two gallon. I keep mine in pots. When I put in the ground the underground critters eat taters and plants.
Now sometimes I didn't see any flowers on my plants, but at end of season when I dumped the pots, potatoes would all be there. TPS are a bit more work but very nice when you get buckets full of nice small potatoes. Just don't over water them. They like to be on dry side.
