POTATO SEEDS

Potatoes are easy to grow, but instead of planting from seeds, they are grown from portions of the root structure, called seed potatoes.

Seed potatoes are tubers that you can use to grow new potatoes that will be genetically identical to the parent potato. Potatoes grow more expediently by this kind of vegetative propagation, and for most home gardeners the process is easier than growing from seeds. Typically it can take about 60 to 90 days for potatoes to grow after planting.
