David, would you explain your method in more detail? You remove the sprouts from ...? And when? This is an interesting idea. What growing zone are you in?
(And on the "organic" debate...just follow the money, folks....certification is not about any of our ethics; it's just about the money. We can continue to steward the land the way we always did.)
Shawnee, zone 5, until the new zone maps come out this winter.

Thank you Alison,
That is what I was looking for. Thanksgiving New spuds! Yeh.
I think I may try putting them in trays covered in mix, kind of a cool chitting processdo that with expensive fingerling stock then plant individual shoots that I pull, not cut, off the plant when they have some roots but not so many that they clump. The plants take off if you set them in holes like you would leeks because they have roots ready to go and the tops are above ground. I do them this way to prevent the spread of virus from the cutting knife on stock that I am trying to keep. The main crop I do the usual way.
David

David,
I think there can be a dormancy issue, but a few weeks in refrigeration should break it. Not sure of the time needed however! We will be using seed from our spring planted potato harvest to plant our high tunnel potatoes in late August. Usually gives us a nice harvest in December.

Has anyone double cropped potatoes? Ie taken the first crop and planted them into new hills. I have a vague memory of dormancy being an issue.
We are going to be short of a specialty spud that we are considering re planting in the high tunnel using the starts from our early crop that are now ready. Ideas. Comments.
Thanks
David
