I regularly keep potatoes for 6 or 8 months without them rotting. They can't be in plastic because they have to have air. The last pototoes that I planted had shriveled and had an inch or two of growth on the eyes, but they hadn't rotted.

“I regularly keep potatoes for 6 or 8 months without them rotting.”

Was at the store yesterday and bought two large potatoes with plenty of eyes on each one. I'll put them in a paper bag (that is okay, right?) and in the pantry and the pantry door has slats in it so there is air circulation in there. They will be in a cool and dry place.

I think I didn't plant the tomatoes right when I planted them outside in the big tomato container. I should have planted half of the stalk but I only planted the root part. My friend in Bandera has told me she talked with the landscaping company who does work on her place and he puts some Epsom salt in the hole before he plants his tomato. She will do that next time. She plants half the stalk and gets tomatoes like crazy.
