That guy seems to be reassuring me that they'll be fine, it's better than planting them too early. They've grown quite well so far, totally loving our hot and humid summer. Can't wait to see if I'll get any taters when it's time to dig them up.

Glenn is an absolute master at what he does for sure and the reason I used him here.
I dont try to root the potatoes and just put them in a dark place in the house soon they will start putting out eyes.
This is when I plant them in the soil.
I tried the jar of glass and found it to be a waste of time.
The plant in the pictuer is still going strong and outside with vines growing from it.
Only because the deer haven found it.
