Garden Ornament
I have read all the threads on potatoes already and still have a question.
I planted my potatoes and they have grown to about 8 inches. I know you are suppose to cover the stems with soil or straw at this point.
The planting guide sent with the seed potatoes tells you to start mounding the soil when the plants are about 6 inches being careful to not bury any of the leaves, just the stem.
All of my plants have leaves from the ground up. They are 8 inches tall but they are not clear stemmed and lanky, they are broader, with several stalks and all covered with leaves.
How much am I suppose to cover these plants?
