I haven't planted taters in over 25 years and I can't remember if I planted them whole or if I planted them cut in quarters. I remember something about putting "dust" of some kind of powder but don't remember what it was or why. I will be planting baking potatoes from the store that sprouted...

Hey folks, I caught taters on sale for $0.88 for 5 lbs at the store yesterday. Here is my attempt. Do they at least look ok?

I live in Western Washington, can I grow Potato's year round? I have a green house, would I need to use that in the Winter?
