Any idea why my SPs came out looing more like carrots than potatoes? I'm going to give them a try again next year, using my own slips this time, so I'll start them going in the greenhouse in pots if necessary then transplant them to other locations once any frost scares have past. This should get us a little longer growing season. Fingers crossed.[/quote]
Another thing that might help you SP grow larger is deeper boxes, I can't remember how deep your boxes are but IMO they should be at least 12" deep and sandy loamy soil is much better than a lot of clay type soil.
