Post #4486805

Last year I posted a thread about growing OSP. There turned out to be quite a bit of interest in growing them. At the end of the season I saved several potatoes and tubers both Blackie and Margarita. I packed most of them up in boxes and stored them in my parents basement. But several of the Blackies never got that far. These never got properly put away and were sitting loose in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket that I used to collect them. The bucket was set down in the corner of a storage room. Yesterday while cleaning up I found these, they were starting to grow. So I guess I will take the hint and give them a little light and water and I will be stopping by to check out the ones that were properly stored. I'll be posting more pictures as they grow and would love to hear from others and see how yours are growing.
Here is a link to last years thread. Warning it got to be a pretty long thread starting out with the growing process I used, pictures and ideas for planting and a lot of discussion about different type of SP and OSP.
