My TPS seedlings!   Still indoors in the basement where it's nice and cool. I was thinking of moving them to the greenhouse, but only if the humidity and heat wouldn't do them in. I don't have a fan in there yet and the late afternoon temp. is reading 110! Would it be better to keep them cooler indoors for the time being? |

Some of my potato plants are starting to get a little water logged with all the rain, so I dug up a few of them today. I got a lot of tubers, but most are still relatively small, about golf ball size or like over-sized peanuts. Would these be big enough to grow a plant next year? One plant needed to be moved to another container, and when I peeked at it, it was a lovely shade of dark pink. That one looked bigger than the others, so I mounded it back up, hoping it'll grow a little bigger. ;D

Definitely large enough for seed potatoes. Save in cool slightly damp place for next spring and congratulations on the arrival of you new baby spuds.

Should they be stored in sawdust, like other bulbs?

It wouldn't hurt and the sawdust can be spritzed to keep them from drying out.
