...more potato growing articles
Pay No Attention to this guy's Asian Pear, which is "satan incarnate" bc it has NO insect predation and spreads into wildlife like crazy!
I cannot find it, BUT, I watched a potato planting article that Should lasagna potato planting, so I did this, 2 layers of potatoes in the same pot.
I can see Why you need to watch and wait for potatoes to start growing from their eyes. Often a package of potatoes will have rotting from potatoes that are going bad but Not sprouting.
The ones I am starting now are some kind of "gold," sort of a generic gold potato, notably we use it for mashed potatoes.

Here is one/MANY, MANY winter sowing articles I have read, or watched youtube videos on this subject. DH and I are both using CPAP machines, so we have a collection of used distilled water containers, no need to clean Them out before use.
I carefully save and then toss them down the basement stairs, easier than carrying, then collect until I start using them, HOPEFULLY, this week.
Here is a nice video, aGain with Benedict, which explains how to do this:
