How to find potatoes to grow?

[michelle12]

Where do I find potatoes with eyes or seeds

[Dave-1]

Good Evening @michelle12

Oh so easy to be cheeky I found mine in the cupboard at the back where I store my potatoes and dont use them in time...

But I do know Bunnings sell seed potatoes as you would think of them, they are disease free. I think they only appear at certain times during the year.

potato will lead you to a range from Bunnings If you look at the specifications of the item you will see what month to grow them. It seems to be around about now we plant them

That said I have grown potatoes that shoot/have eyes from my cupboard and they have grown well, I havest them after the stems start to die off. Tho I dont always get it right. I live South Of Sydney in Wollongong and they grow ok.

Good luck, I planted them in fresh turned soil (a week afterwards) and it had been composted. By about the depth of the potato itself. (12cm ish)
