Transplanting / Transferring our potatoes to the field π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
Hello Hive
Here are the Vegetative Potatoes I have been able to preserve for a good while until now that we are able to plant them in the field.
Potatoes used to be among the very first crops we often plant yearly and by now we should be harvesting and eating some tubers for this year, that order was missed and we are just planting our potatoes.
Getting labourers to cultivate the land is often a major challenge. My dad has been the one who cultivated the lands where we have planted the groundnuts and corn. Since they were some quality lands, we prioritized planting the groundnuts and corn first.
This parts was freshly cultivated yesterday as daddy decided to plant some potatoes there, I have him some of the vegetative seedlings I have preserved which he had cut into pieces and transfered into the farm.
Propagating potatoes is one of the easiest farm work. It involves just cutting the stems and dipping them in the soil at intervals. You only have to be careful not to dip the wrong side of the potatoes into the soil.

It looks like our potato farms is inside a fence here right
Our farmlands are gradually being turned into houses, people are purchasing these lands and building homes in them. Sooner than later this particular land won't be available for farming again as we are gradually being pushed into the forest for seek for farmable land.
I actually planted some sac potatoes at home aside this one, ever since I watched a YouTuber grow some very large potatoes in a 60kg sac at home i was fascinated by that and decided to give it a try.
Luckily I was able to replicate the same, although using a smaller sac I was equally able to grow some sac potatoes at home.
This year, I increased the number of sac and will be watching them very closely to see how much food they will give me.
These are not potatoes. They are sweet potatoes. π
It's a totally different plant.
Hehehe, I totally get you.
You want us to be totally specific.
I love sweet potatoes and another one called Irish potatoes too.
I don't know if there are other species.
I am just trying to help. So that your readers are not confused.
I am not being overly specific. You are just wrong for calling a sweet potatoe a potatoe.

I totally get that
