Q. How do you grow a potatoe that has all ready been grown?
A. Hi Benji, Growing potatoes is easy. If your potato hasn't been sprayed with a chemical to stop it from sprouting you can take that potato, put it 3 inches down into the ground, water it every week and watch it grow into a big plant. The potatoes grow underground but the top growth is important to feed the potatoes that are developing under the soil. The plant will know when it is done growing and will start to die back. Don't worry; this is the sign that it is now time to dig up your potatoes. Use a garden fork if you have one and don't stab the potatoes. If you do stab one, use it right away. Happy Gardening! Hoot
