I remember my mom growing potatoes from the "eyes" of store-bought potatoes. Do people still do that, or are the curren varieties not good to grow that way?
I live just south of Houston, and there are quite a few large nurseries around here, so I am sure I'll be able too find somoeone who can give me specific local advice.

Store bought potatoes these days have often been treated to prevent sprouting. |

It is worth mentioning that "raised bed gardening" is in vogue and advised |
