Fixin' to plant the taters

Trying to get them in the ground by this weekend.
March 17 is the day they say (whoever they are) to plant potatoes.
Works for me.
I cut them where there's at least one good eye on a half then set them inside a closed card board box.
Some get cut in thirds. Whatever.
Have seven boxes of seed potatoes. You don't need to see them all but we'll be harvesting a lot of potatoes around the 4th of July. Maybe some "new potatoes" sooner. Fresh potatoes are awesome.
Two weeks ago the potatoes didn't have eyes forming so I put them in boxes and covered them up. Cut them Saturday. The store was almost late on the seeds this year. $.39/pound is what they charged me.
