potato news today

the gardener is relieved to announce that the yema de huevos that were planted in the bushel basket nineteen days ago have begun to break the surface ( first and second photos )...others have been sprouting in boxes and will be finding homes this coming weekend under the newest broad spectrum grow light i have acquired...in more spud related news, the early blue potatoes i planted six days ago have begun to show above ground as well ( third photo )...this is the first step ( i hope ) towards a crop of both tubers to plant in a variety of gardens across the county in april...the community garden, my daughter and son-in-law's yard, my yard, and the pgp...the bottom photo is of a bolivian wild potato that i started last week...the established ones are doing well but i am trying to expand the population...about two months to tesointe planting...three or so to potatoes...four at the outside...no time to waste...do seed potatoes grown in my basement qualify as local?
