I always enjoy potato reveals, you never know what you get. For the future, what may work better is if you leave the potatoes to sprout in a sunny location for 2-3 weeks. By then you'll know how many sprouts each potato gets, and you can cut the potatoes so each piece has 2-3 sprouts on it. This will prevent the pieces that doesn't sprout, as you had a few in there. Also, the days to harvest will be from that time - the time the chitted/sprouted potatoes are in ground and 90 days or so after, so you may get more harvest as the potato plants hit the ground running.
Very nice! Always exciting to see the potatoes pop out of the dirt. Interesting most of your seed potatoes remained intact. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the bags! Red La Soda grow best in my area, but my Yukon Gold did very well, too. Had some hash browns with breakfast, and roast with Yukon Gold potatoes, over the weekend. Both meals were delicious with fresh potatoes.
@@BBGshop7 per usda “However, when potato tubers turn green there is usually an increase in a glycoalkoloid compound called solanine. Consequently, it is important to store potatoes in the absence of light to prevent greening. Tubers with a high concentration of solanine will taste bitter, and can be harmful if eaten in large quantities. To be safe, it is best to not eat the green part of tubers." You do not need to discard green potatoes. Just peel the skins, shoots and any green color; that is where the solanines concentrate.”

@@matchynishi thanks! I always love advice. Been a fun learning process
Some of my grocery potatoes have sprouted in a thick cluster. Creepy looking 😅 gonna cut it off and let it dry I guess
@@BBGshop7 can try growing them too throw them in some extra dirt. Always kinda fun

So fun! I feel like we've had such a dry spring that it makes a difference!
I’m sure. I left my hose on my corn and it. Won’t turn off. And that dude got huge this week lol

Never thought I would enjoy potatoes so much
Hi👋🏽 why don't I want the potatoes to turn green, and what to do if there are green potatoes? Great video. Like watching nature's lottery
