I remember Summerthyme posting somewhere that potatoes need several months to "cure" before they will sprout, so that the ones harvested from a spring planting will not grow properly if planted for a fall crop the same year.
Well, I dug my Red Pontiacs in August this year, (summer was about a month late in my part of Arkansas) but a lot of the potatoes are already sprouting.
Can anyone tell me, if I pot some of these potatoes and grow them in my greenhouse over the winter, will that help me "force" them to change their cycle enough that I will have developed a crop that will thereafter be suitable for fall planting?
Thanks for any thoughts or advice,
Carol
