I took a chance and bought a large flower pot and fill it with garden soil and bury the two potatoes in the soil and water them and put the pot by the window with full light but it didn't get the sun until after lunch some time. I was surprise the next day the vines were standing about 2.1/2 ins above the soil. So I went out and got some sticks and put them in ones around the pot until I had three stations. Then I began to wrap the white string around the three sticks with the vines in the mild of the station. Right now I have the most beautiful plant. but it over two month or more, the leave has started to turn brown. Now my question is when do I pull the potatoes vines up out of its bed? when all the leaves turn brown? I need a answer please. Thank you.
