The store bought ones are sprayed with a sprout inhibitor called sprout nip. So if you want to sprout them try adding warmth and humidity and keep it dark.

I think if you take a little dirt from your garden and rub it all over 1 potato from the store and had a 2nd as a control that you didnt rub dirt on, you would find that the dirty tater would sprout faster.

That's what I do. In my country the variety of the potato is listed on the back of the bag so I can even find the specific kinds I want. I can also have a bigger selection in my garden because I can buy smaller quantities. Now I have some left over from the previous year that starts sprouting in spring so I use them and only buy new ones if I want to try a new variety.

When you harvest in the fall, just put the largest potato from each plant back in the ground. Next spring you will have a new potato plant come up so you only have to dig the bed once. Less disturbance to the soil. And you don’t have to pay for seed potatoes ever again.

I grow beautiful potatos just from potato eyes. I carefully remove them with a bit of potato all around them, but not too much. Place them on plate upside down to dry just a little bit, forming a film. Then I plant them in large pots and ad 3 to almost 4 inches of good garden soil, or manure, or whatever I have. Now 7 to 10 weeks later, gorgeous healthy plants emerged, and I have them growing beautifully in several pots. So we have our plants, and we still ate the potatos these came from.

I live in southern California. I have a few different patches of potatoes. 3 5-gal containers, and 3 small areas. I find myself needing some potatoes, I harvest a bucket or a patch, re-plant with sprouted taters and in a week or so, I harvest another spot and re-plant. And, I just let one of two potatoes sprout, I've never bought extra seep potatoes.

Thanks for the tip, we may have to do them in buckets to protect them from the summer heat.

I live in S.C. so we just harvested our potatoes. I was able to buy 3 bags right before everything went south. We dug up right round 700 potatoes. This was my first year planting russets and was very pleased with the harvest; considering there were not that many potatoes in the bag. I will not be planting a 2nd crop but just like you said, I went back and planted some squash, peppers, and 2 watermelons plants in their place. It's such a blessing to have a long growing season.

hey Luke, I planted another 12 potatoes here in Northern Ireland a few days ago, always good to get a late harvest. stay safe :)

Definitely going to go check the pantry for some spuds with eyes and if it's looking at me, I'm gonna plant it!

I will pick my first harvest this weekend and replant for another harvest :)

I have harvested red and Yukon gold potatoes as late as November 4th here in central Georgia! This is also about the time my peppers and indeterminate tomatoes (9 varieties) stop producing and dying back… and pretty much everything else I grow, some a little earlier…

Good to hear I might not be. Just starting to see some growth poking through the soil. Lucky you with a root cellar. Not sure what to do if we actually get a decent harvest 😳

if you have a good harvest, know that food never needs to go to waste. can it. it's easy. all you need are some jars with rubber seals in the lid - a big pot and boiling water. prepare the item the way you like it - stick it in the jar - seal w/lid - place jars in large pot cover and boil. it will keep for about a year - 'til the next harvest!

I bought a small bag of seed potatoes as soon as they showed up in the store,which was about 2 weeks before everything locked down, they were all sprouting before I was finally able to plant them. I do containers for my potatoes and will be harvesting in about a week.

I just ripped out a bunch of lettuce and planted some old rooting potatoes! Super excited!

We have more problems with typhoons than cold weather. I am looking for indeterminate tomatoes that work decently in hot, humid weather. I do use the suckers to grow new plants. Potatoes are cheap but they have not done well for us. Conversely, sweet potatoes have done very well for us in The Philippines. I will try your ideas one more time. I really respect your energy and youth. Thank you for sharing. God bless America.

Awesome, I've got some sprouted organic potatoes on my back porch. Think I'll go plant them in some buckets!

I was planning on planting potatoes all season but I can't find any to plant. Like you said we are all seeing a shortage. I was lucky to plant and harvest potatoes this spring and I guess this year that is enough. I am growing our own sweet potatoes slips and have some planted already so that is good news. I even have extra slips for friends and family. Love sharing the bounty ❤🥔. Thanks for the info Luke!

Hi Luke, I am one of those flower/fruit gardeners who added raised veggie beds this year. A friend of mine turned me on to your channel. So far you have helped with my tomato pruning and now my potatoes. I am anxious for you to show when to harvest potatoes. I also have lettuce, kale, cucumbers, carrots, bush beans, and zucchini. I started green onions and celery from produce trimmings in my kitchen window then transfered them to the raised beds. I'm really enjoying this. Can't wait for a crop. Thank you for your great instructions.

I am in north central pa and have planted potatoes in late July or early August and had a good harvest. No huge baking size but good boiling size. In these times one needs to see what is possible to push the boundaries of harvest times.

I'm getting ready to plant potatoes..saved a little room for them.

I didn't know I can plant Potatoes this time of the month. so thank you. ill go put some in tonight.

I thought the window was lost! Running outside to plant these puppies right now 😃👍

Always try. Even potato peels grow great potatos.

Thanks for the video. We've had a very wet and cool spring here in North Carolina and almost all of our potato plants rotted. I figured we just wouldn't have potatoes this year. After watching this video, I may try to plant some of the sprouting yukons in our pantry! Maybe we'll have potatoes after all. 😊

I get organic potatoes, this is my first time year planting some, in approx late February, I created a cool damp place for them to begin sprouting.... I’ll see what I get !!!

We planted a big batch in our new greenhouse in April and I assume they'll be ready soon. The plants are big and beautiful. We just planted a second batch in two raised beds (not in the greenhouse). It doesn't always get much sun there so I hope they do well.

Yes I planted my first harvest potatoes at May 15th. Then two weeks later I planted my second harvest. This weekend I will plant my third and then I'll be done for this year.
