I grew potatoes for the first time last year and I loved it! So easy and so yummy!
I've never heard of this. My grandmother - born and raised in Ireland. My husband is a "McCabe". I love it - I am going to do it today. When you say "put in water to seal", just drop in some water for a minute or something? What if they don't grow (Phoenix is harsh), is tht bad luck? Oh, I might need to reconsider.
You put them in water over night.
Good luck with your planting! :-)
Enjoy your gardening, but be careful, potato foliage is poisonous. We don't grow them because we still have grazers.
I love easy and delicious!!!!
That's super cool! And yummy!
Is this a new tradition, as in Grandma Joan found sprouting potatoes in her potato bin yesterday???!!!
That is such a cool tradition.;)
That is awesome!
What a cool tradition! It will be fun to eat your potatoes later on this summer.
