Market Farming

[Willie McKemie <mf AT austinfarm.org>]

One of my grocery store customers just gave me about 5lbs of culls.  
Anyone have any recommendations on growing them?  "Russian Banana 
Fingerling" from Melissa's.  Looks like 25-30 to a pound; should 
they be cut in two?  Am I likely to have any success with them here in 
central Texas?  We have pretty good luck with Red LaSodas cut into 
about 2oz chunks and planted 12"-18" apart.

We have already started our potato planting season and have about a 
month to go.  What should I do to these fingerlings to encourage them 
to sprout?  Keep them warm?  Expose them to light?  Dark?  They show no 
sign of sprouting now.
