The potato plants are showing plenty of greenery. It has taken more than a month to get this far. I followed the youtube instructions to a tee. Once the first plant broke ground I covered it with a mound of soil. I had my doubts when I covered up the sprout. The tallest plant stands about 5 inches above the mound. Now if the plant actually produces potatoes..........

Any reason why they won't grow? @BHolopaw

I hope your potatoes grow. I tried putting some potato cuttings in a pot but nothing is showing yet,

Thank you, I was not aware you grow peas. I do like fresh peas.
I also have onions and peppers.

Thank you. I placed bricks between the bucket and paver to promote drainage.

Hopefully you'll get some potatoes. I grew spuds in tyres once and covered the spouts several times. That way you're supposed to get several layers of potatoes.
