Simply Seed3 LB - German Butterball Potato Seed - Non GMO - Naturally Grown - Order Now For Planting - Real Potatoes

NICE BUT GETTING FROM CHINA THEY NEVER LABEL THE ITEM SO ORDER 1 ON 1 INVOICE. YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING.

I purchased 2 varieties of seed potatoes from this seller, Russet Burbank and German Butterball. I've never grown potatoes before, so I watched a ton of YouTube videos and decided on this plan: Using the "hilling" method in 10lb fabric containers. I started with 5-inches of well-draining high quality soil, pour in some basic veggie fertilizer with plenty of potassium, put 3 or 4 of the seed potatoes with the eyes pointing up on top, then cover everything with soil - just enough to cover the potatoes. As the potatoes sprout and send their leafy structures up, I will add more soil until the bags are filled. The bags are in a very sunny spot where they will get the minimum of 10 hours of sunlight through the growing season. The only part of this I'm worried about is the seed potatoes. They took a couple of weeks to arrive, and the seller didn't bother to label them, so I couldn't tell the two varieties of potatoes apart. All of the potatoes are soft, which seems a little "sus," as the kids say. I've seen some buyers complain that their seed potatoes never grew, so I hope that doesn't happen to me. I will update in a few weeks when I know what happens.

Update: it was a good quantity harvest. The size of the potatoes harvested was my issue, I was new to growing them and didn't hill them properly as they grew or they would have been larger. They were tasty and we happily ate them all up over a few months time.It took almost 2 weeks for the seed potatoes to arrive but was worth the wait.I ordered and planted these in AZ in 2022 and did the eye and scab method and they grew beautifully but I had to move before I could harvest.Cut to 2023 in SC and I knew I wanted them in my garden here. I was a little over eager (and late) and just planted them whole in the rows and so far I am not disappointed!

This was my first time growing potatoes before. I read a few other reviews about others planting them and not having them grow. However, I placed them in an open egg carton and sprinkled them with water once every couple days and set them in the dark and once they begin to sprout, I placed them in the ground (2-3 weeks) and they sprouted out of the dirt within days. I am very happy!

Small but has some eyes.

I had every one 'sprouted' prior to planting .... not one grewNot blaming the grower , as other Taters version grew , alas not as good as they should have and did in a dif bed, I have to assume operator error ? Wrong soil ? , who knows ....Was really looking forward to them, maybe I'll try again , we'll see

Pros: Great potatoes. Fast handling and shipping, all 4 varieties were in beautiful condition and are growing healthy chits now. Only con: Weight wasn't spot on. I'll purchase again. Best seed potatoes of organic, non gmo varieties I've seen.

They are not hard like seed potatoes typically are. These seed potatoes do not have any eyes and appear to be regular potatoes from the store. I was expecting to be able to put root grow on them and have them ready to plant in a week. Yet they don't even have eyes! How are these being classified as seed potatoes? The seller states "These potatoes were fleshly picked off the ground", but it took them two days to response so I already put root grow on them and can't return them. This indicates they should not be classified as seed potatoes. Seed potatoes are supposed to be older, harder, and sprouting eyes for them to be planted soon. This seems to be a scam for the 20 + price I could have gotten 5 bags from the store and they would have been closer to ready to plant than these "seed potatoes".
