The closest I've come to growing potatoes when when my dog would steal and bury the sprouted potatoes I'd give my rabbit. I'd see this lush green growth and wonder what the heck it was ... LOL

Anyway according Central Texas Gardener it's a little late. They say this regarding planting:

"Timing is just about everything when it comes to potatoes. In the spring, you should plant your spuds about four weeks before the last average killing frost. If you plant too early, your plants may be damaged by a freeze: the result will be disappointing yields; plant too late and your crop will mature during hot weather resulting in a poor crop."

They also say that the variety you plant is key to getting a good crop and that the russet type that we buy in grocery stores is not well suited for Texas.

But you could go ahead and play around with planting your sprouts and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice, Roselee! I figured I could toss them out there and give it a shot. One is a russet an the other is a red potato. I'll have to give an update at the end of summer!

We'll be looking forward to hearing how they did for you!

We always get little potatoes from the compost heap after tossing sprouted potatoes in there. They are yummy with green beans :-)
