Growing Potatoes

In the third week in April, i noticed the found was warm enough to grow potatoes in the school courtyard so I chose the best microclimate in the courtyard conducive to growing potatoes.  I purchased some Yukon Gold seed potatoes.    Potatoes like to grow in mounds, so you should build a hill around your potato.  You can cut a potato in half in you need more potatoes to plant but just make sure there are one or two eyes on the potato.  The eye is actually a leaf bud.  Potatoes send out tubers into the ground so if you have a soft fluffy mound the potato will quickly send out tubers in all directions and grow potatoes.   It is now June 17 and look how big the potatoes have grown in just over a month.
