Good stuff! I have never seen sprouted potatoes at the markets/gardens stores...but I've never made a point of looking for them? Anybody else seen 'em?

I'm just doing a small garden this year of frequent-use items: herbs, lettuces, chard, and tomatoes. I usually do at least one Green Zebra and one cherry tomato plant, but would love any other suggestions of favorite varieties!

Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, hot peppers, I'll try some squash this year, mint (love mint tea), basil, rosemary, peas, beans... I also just bought some onions to try. And what I'm most excited about is a vertical potato grower my husband just built me. Now, I'm just waiting for my potatoes to grow sprouts so I can plant them. Any ideas of where I could get sprouted potatoes?
