I placed the potatoes on the center of a dark colored towel, wrapped them gently, and placed them at the back of my cabinet to protect them from sunlight. Before I would plant them I needed to make sure that they would sprout. I'm sure you've noticed the pale little nodes sticking out of a potato, or better yet, when you didn't eat them in a timely fashion, they began sprouting right in your cabinet. These are the eyes, the green leafy part of the potato that you see above the ground when growing potatoes.
These should do just fine
So, I cut the potatoes into sections making sure that each section has at least 2 - 3 eyes that were beginning to grow. In the garden bed I dug a hole just deep and big enough to place the potato and cover it with a shallow layer of soil. I did not implement any special watering schedule and am watering the potatoes at the same interval that my sprinklers are currently set, every 2 - 3 days.
Let's see what happens!
