I grown them every year in West Tn. They are easy to grow and the yield is rather large. I put out about about 35 plants and have plenty and give away some. (1) I start my own plants from a previous year potato. Some people put a potato in a jar of water and put it in a warm place say on a water heater for sprouting. I usually bury four or five potatoes in a hot bead and cover them with about 2 or 3 inches of sawdust or mulch. (2) When the sprouts (slips) get 4 to 6 inches long pull them from the potato and plant in the row about 18 inches apart. I pull a few slips as they are ready and add to the row. They put on roots easily if the ground is damp. (3) I bed up the row in advance and till in some fertlizer. (4) I usually plant in May but it can be done here as late as June. (5) I dug mine about the middle of August because they were getting too big otherwise you can wait until just before a frost.
