I am always 😀😀trying to get better at growing but really anything that grows outdoors can always be grown indoors as long as you have enough space and light😀🌱🪴
You're growing a cluster potato. If growing again, double-down = dbl yield. Plant some lower & higher in a column. Vining shoot types have different growth pattern. Horizontal space best; maybe a box, not too deep. Chit shape shows you what type you have. 🌱Potatoes look fabulous. -- xxoo
To me a spud is a spud. These are Red Norland and I know the vines are long but many were partially buried under other plants so not exactly a good example. My main regret was not planting in the bottom of the bucket and burying vines as they grow which is something I usually do but didn't this time..
Gotcha. I've seen some strange US potatoes coming out of our grocery stores. Don't act as they always have, which makes me suspicious they are coming from those new tissue culture seed labs. (Or they're fumigating the ground w/ an unsavory fungus treatment.) A few potato varieties seem to be a cross between vine & cluster, which certainly stunned me. Plant Genetics are changing, so I'm now saving my own starts & seeds from proven evidence of growth. Thx for the chat. Best of Wishes. @@SMALLFARMSBIGIDEAS
Even the tiny ones are great as a side dish cooked in beef gravy(if you collect enough of them) or used whole in stews or soups. The wife and I don't waste any food source if we can...
Hey, I say if you get more than you put in, you did well. It’s pretty impressive you grew those indoors. Didn’t know that was possible. Enjoy 👍👍

I agree nothing goes to waste😀
