Growing potatoes is a lot more complex than you think! You get a potato and wait until it gets eyes, which is a white sprout that comes out of the potato. When you see this it means it is ready to come out of the ground. If you leave it to grow eyes for longer, you’ll see these BIG brown balls which are the start of new potato plants!!!! Each potato can have up to 6 eyes -so up to six new potato plants!!! We berry the potato eyes at least 50cm to ensure they have lots of space to underground to grow potatoes.
