Today in the garden, I will be planting some store-bought potatoes. The potatoes will be cut into sections and allow to scab over for three days. This is done to allow the potato to kind of develop a hardened layer, so that it’s not fresh and exposed when you planted in the ground. If you allow it to scab over, it will give it a better chance of not rotting in the soil when you plant it. I put them into my buckets and I amended the soil. I added some new soil, some compost and some bonemeal watered them and now I will just wait for harvest.
