I bought a 3 lb bag of "mixed" fingerling potatoes the other day. They are supposed to be Rose Finn, Russian Banana, French Fingerling, and LaRatte Fingerling. I only can tell that there are 3 varieties in the bag though.
Several of the potatoes have eyes that are beginning to grow..... and, well, you know me, I'm always up for an experiment in the garden LOL So, I'm thinking of growing some of these fingerling potatoes (they are quite tasty!!!). So, what I don't know is will the stems of the plants produce roots and then potatoes if they are "hill-ed" like other late-maturing potato varieties? If so, I might want to try growing these in one of Sinfonian's "Build-As-You-Grow" potato bins.
Does anyone have any experience on growing fingerling potatoes?
