The wife just got home and I was telling her about your post.
To let the vines grow.
Several years ago we did buy a few at the store and we did have success. I would suggest finding someone at the local farmers market, I bet they have a few left over from last growing season!
Ah good idea. We have Amish around here. Maybe the greenhouse or their store would have some to spare. How many should I plant for 2 of us? Are they like regular potatoes, giving you several tubers from each eye planted?
I would plant 10 plants for 2 of you. Plant them once the ground is warm and I wait to harvest until the week before a frost is forecasted. Enjoy!
