Are my Taters Dead?

TZ-OH6 · May 13, 2009

I planted 12 large seed pieces (three varieties) about two weeks ago. The top of the peices were about 2" under the surface. I cut them about 3 days before planting, and they possibly had some mold on the cut side and were starting to shrivel, but not all because a few I planted whole. Any way, no signs of life yet, and it has been warm. Some Wee Beasty has tunneled through the area (probably chipmunk) but I can't see it getting every potato from underground.

Any way, should I plan on starting over, or do taters take their time?
