Yeah I was kind of thinking that. I don't plan on planting a lot, so buying would be inexpensive. Just wondering if anyone had tried it with just as good success as new. Thanks!
Tater question. I have some small potatoes left over from last season that have shrunk up some and have sprouts a couple inches long. I was thinking about planting them this year. Do I:
1. Plant them whole with the sprouts intact?
2. Plant them whole with the sprouts removed?
3. Cut them in half with sprouts on or removed?
4. Forget it and buy some seed potatoes?
Ok men, need some advice from the master gardeners in here. Where do you guys buy your tomato seeds? I went by Lowes today and just happened to go thru the garden department, they had there vegetable plants priced at $5.98. Ill go broke trying to raise a garden. Im in McGees Crossroads Thanks
You’re still good on potatoes. When they get about 6-8” tall hit them with a high potassium fertilizer then 2-3 weeks late ammonium sulfate and watch them go.May be a little late for taters?...I got a blue variety. Going to throw mom and dad a curve ball. Lol

I have heard that once potatoes start sprouting to pull more dirt over them to increase the yield.
Can anyone add to that?
Providing Easter was in April the ole folks used to make a garden planting on Good Friday. This year it’s April 7th so maybe a little early to set out tomatoes but beans and squash should be okay. Two weeks to push through will be a week past average last frost date.
Potatoes are about 10"tall . Onions up . Peppers, squash, sugar snaps, cucumber's, tomatoes, sunflowers, watermelon's, cantaloupes, okra , eggplant, all up and growing. Need rain
That’s absurd. How big were the plants? I bought 4 packs last weekend here in NC because I was out of the country for 10days, so didn’t start any this year, for $2.99. Nice thick stocky plants anywhere from 6-14” tall, and they had singles for $2.99 up to 18-20” tall.Co-op in TN was selling Jet Star tomato plants for $8.50 each last weekend. I was told that some places were already out of vegetable plants and wouldn't have any more. Seems like grocery prices are encouraging more gardening.
