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.
