I agree Karen.

Around here, I've seen seed potatoes sold that have way less eyes than those in my original post back in November. In 2015, the seed potatoes sold around here had no eyes. In the picture of me holding a small potato with a large eye - that eye is over 2.5" long. I hope the picture shows up. I wear a size 14 ring - that might help describe the potato eye size.

I have given it more thought and will be planting the small potatoes whole and the 12 larger potatoes I'll cut. That puts off planting day for Sunday instead of tomorrow.

I meant to tell how I saved these potatoes from November until now. I left them in the basket in post #1 on this thread. I put them outside near where they are going to be planted (An almost full sun location) until it was going to be well below freezing in late December. I brought them in and they sat beside our washing machine on the floor for the past month. I left the oak leaves that got mixed in the basket.
