Tubers anatomy: Every tuber has a crown (where the eye typically is), a neck, a body, and a tail. For a tuber to grow in the spring, it needs an eye, a neck, and a body. Sometimes when we’re separating, we’ll see multiple eyes on the crown, and often there will be a larger tuber with smaller tubers a

Once tubers have lost too much moisture they become either much harder to store successfully or (worse case) unable to grow again. The solution for this potential issue is simple though, just make sure there’s a barrier between the concrete and tuber clumps if you’re using a spot that has c
