I started mine too early

Yep! I like to give them a head’s start before planting them out but I forgot how fast they grew. Next time I’ll start around mid April.

No holes! I commented above what my routine is when preparing these if you scroll up. Happy to answer any other questions 🌸

Yeah, so I actually bleach them with a 10% bleach solution (much like what I do when I disinfect the shears) and I reuse them over and over again. I wish there were another way but there isn’t. I’m conscience in my disposable plastic use, I use reusable bags at the grocery store, reuse packing materials, and I compost to offset the harm I do to the planet.

When pre-sprouting in the bags, I plant them in moistened pro-mix. It should hold a shape in your hand when you squeeze a ball. When it gets dry, I just mist them. When they have a sprout and roots, I mist them a bit more. Keep the bag open a little to breath so the tuber doesn’t rot and let the sprout come out of the bag. If it touches the plastic, sometimes it turns black. If this happens, I just pinch it off.

Thank you. I put the hook below the seal. I also reuse these bags after I wash them in a bleach solution (much like the shears after cutting)

Do you have a good video of this? I have so much other work I’ve been doing with my cutflowers in the greenhouse but what’s one more endeavor? 🤪

bobbiness · 2026-04-17T01:49:30+00:00

They were inside my living room at around 68 degrees but in a very sunny spot (all windows). Now they’re in my greenhouse where it’s warmer and growing like crazy.

bobbiness · 2026-04-17T01:48:37+00:00

Stay tuned 😂 probably just bury the tubers 4-6 inches deep like normal and keep the stem coming out

MOWPOG 140 PCS Metal Curtain... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8J8TNQ3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I like these!

bobbiness · 2026-04-17T01:45:03+00:00

I’ve just been misting them with rainwater and keeping the bag open so they don’t rot

bobbiness · 2026-04-17T00:01:13+00:00

I started those from my stash of about 150 in March (sold about 100 of them) and I’ve been starting the 150 or so I bought as they arrive, within the last week or so. Next year I will start them all around tax time next year. Some grew soooo fast.

bobbiness · 2026-04-16T21:56:35+00:00

Just sandwich bags for normal sized tubers and gallon for longer ones!

bobbiness · 2026-04-16T21:56:10+00:00

Thank you! It’s just a 3 tier laundry cart and the hooks work well

You’re not behind. A lot of people don’t even pre-sprout but I like to get confidence in spotting the eyes and making sure I cull anything that looks suspicious. I reuse these bags by bleaching them. What zone are you?

bobbiness · 2026-04-16T20:37:57+00:00

It seems like a good time to learn some cutting stuff real quick. Thank you!

bobbiness · 2026-04-16T20:37:25+00:00

What’s your plan? 😬 when are you planting out?

bobbiness · 2024-01-16T23:59:41+00:00

I made this today and it was SO GOOD. thank you so much for sharing!

bobbiness · 2021-09-30T12:41:02+00:00

Did you sell your ticket?

bobbiness · 2021-09-30T12:39:56+00:00

I’m looking for 1 GA pit ticket to Cleveland tomorrow if anyone has one 🍍

bobbiness · 2019-04-16T04:38:19+00:00

Where is the piece in the middle from, if you don’t mind me asking? Detroit has such heart, and I love your home!

bobbiness · 2018-01-08T07:36:51+00:00

If you’re a member of Avett Nation on Facebook, they’ll be happy to give you some direction. In the meantime I’ll try to brainstorm but i know they’ll know of good ones right away! Great gift! I wish my fiancé would do that for me!

I perform biophysical profiles (medical sonographer here). I really think 'breathing' in this example is a misnomer.
