Potato Project III
Almost the middle of July and the potatoes are still growing. As you can see the plants are almost as tall as the barrel and starting to bloom. It seems potatoes don’t always bloom, and when they do, they do not always set fruit. I planted “seed potatoes”, though that is a misnomer. They were actually root cuttings, or sections of a potato tuber cut into chunks containing “eyes”. Planting the tubers guarantees that you will get the same variety: in essence, a clone.
