Patience Grasshopper. Yukon Gold are late to come up, late to bloom and late to the dinner table. The variety I dug yesterday is Red Gold and is a early spud. I never mound up volunteer potatoes because chances are they are growing in the wrong place at the right time or in the right place at the wrong time or.........
I found a bag of potatoes in the basement frig that had turned to sprouts. I’d already planted my chosen varieties, so I threw them in the compost pile — whole. Do I need to dig them out and cut them in pieces, or will they eventually decompose?
