Planted heirloom fingerling seed potatoes today. Did 9 in large containers, 6 on the ground around them. Will be mounding straw around them as they grow. Did you know that potatoes show up above where the seed potato is planted, and below is only roots? I didn't.

Also, I found my 3rd large container for potatoes. Seems someone stole it earlier this year and broke it while hauling manure. Thankfully it's still usable for my purposes

I'll be following the example outlined here for planting this year:  http://www.theartofdoingstuff.com/how-to-plant-potatoes-in-straw/
