I cut my potatoes in peices today so the cut sides can heal over. My Daddy taught me that when I was a little girl, I remember him cutting his potatoes carefully making sure that each piece had an eye. He explained to me that he cut them a week or two before planting them so the raw open cut would not rot after he planted them. The small potatoes I left whole. Next weekend, our 5 year old grand daughter is coming so she can help plant potaotes. She is excited and can't wait to get here.
Because of what I have read here on TEG, I placed the eyes under the flourescent lights. I read where it helps them to sprout better. We'll see if it makes any difference.
