When potato salad goes bad...

It’s called ‘Chitting’ a potato and here’s how to do it. It makes ONE potato into a LOT of potatoes for planting. :)

Potatoes ARE a rewarding crop. I’m over them, though. Wisconsin grows potatoes only second to Idaho, so they are always cheap and plentiful for me and I don’t have to waste garden space on them.
HOWEVER - since I know how to raise them, I CAN if push comes to shove. ;)
“When they outlaw potatoes, only outlaws will have potatoes!” :)
Thank you! Even if I get one or two potatoes from these, I’ll be happy with the learning experience.
Next question, can you do this with onions? One of those is sprouting at the top. I’ve not ever had this happen before. Maybe my garage isn’t as cool and dry as I’ve thought.

Got a lot done so far. Hubby and I working together on chores we used to do separately. So far the garden was tilled twice, compost pile emptied and spread, garden tilled again this morning. We are picking asparagus every other day, garlic doing really well, about 12” tall. Taking a break this afternoon. Tomorrow will be putting in our 3 biggest broccoli plants. Also planting some seed, zucchini, cukes, cilantro. Lots of seedlings just too small to plant yet. And I found a small borage plant - made me laugh. We thought we pulled every single plant before they put out seeds. They engulfed the whole front south edge of the garden last year. They all went into the compost bin so its all good. This one was growing just outside the brick edge, about 6” tall. Will probably eat the young leaves in a salad before we yank it. Life is good.
