First potato sprouts!

  • I planted three yukon potatoes on this date 3 weeks ago. I haven’t watered them any because we have had lots of rain. I checked this Saturday and was so excited to see three sprouts peeking up through the soil! I am so excited! I had great luck last year with sweet potatoes and am excited to try the yukon golds.

    I took some pictures of how I mounded the soil up to resemble a garden row and I think it will work perfectly. I will keep you updated with their progress and hopefully I will have lots of potatoes to harvest!

    my first potato sprout! I didn't position the sprout on the potato up or down, I just planted it and it found it's way out of the soil.
