Today I was going to use my potato bed for a pathway in my garden, but I thought I would dig in the dirt to see what the potato's did. My first shovel full of dirt also showed about 10 little 2 inch potato's!!! I have no plants growing out of the ground, so how did the potato's reproduce and grow? This is my first year trying potato's, and I saved a bag of potato's all winter to plant this spring. They all had sprouts and I was very careful not to break them. I planted the whole potato instead of just making sure there were a couple eyes on each piece. I was so suprised that none of them grew a plant.
What do I do know? Should I wait and then dig them up later and collect the potato's, or are they not going to amount to anything since there are no plants?
