Potato planting today.

Two weeks ago I bought seed potatoes. I week later I cut them up so they could “scab”.

I read that potatoes do no grow down from the seed potato is planted.

Because I was planting in a raised bed, I didn’t think I could easily hill the potatoes, so I dug down at least 8 inches. I may hill them some, but the plant will have to grow up the 8 inches to break through the soil.

I planted three rows. I think my bed is 12×4.
