Hello,
I need some advice on potatoes. whenever I try to grow them, the plant grows very tall and I never get any good size or number of potatoes. I have tried in the ground and in containers,I usally grow red and yukon gold. Any input would be appreciated.
thanks

I don't know what you expect. From a cutting of Pontiac Red with two eyes on it, I would expect to get 4 nice tubers. If you plant the whole potato with a dozen eyes on it you may get 15 to 20 tubers, but they will all be small.
Potatoes require full sun, fertile soil and a constant supply of water. Don't let them get too dry.
