Please help with EE, new at this.

This is the first year I have ever grown EE and I'm digging them up to relocate to a better location. I have C. esculenta 'Burgundy Stem', and even on the largest one, the bulbs look odd to me. This plant is only about 3 ft tall, and when digging it up I expected to find a larger bulb. The largest, most beautiful plant had two very small bulbs. I bought these as very small plants from our local botanical garden.. I know I sound very naive, but I guess my thinking they would be the size of the ones I see for sale in the store is quite unrealistic. I'm feeling disappointed with what I've dug up and I'm wondering if maybe I didn't dig deep enough..

Can someone please tell me if what I dug up is normal or if I need to go back out there and dig deeper??

Thanks,
Tracey

when in doubt dig deeper...you may not find anything but who knows...maybe a wider circle too...I grow my EE's in pots because they won't survive our winters here, and yeah I've noticed great big plants and itty bitty bulbs...never ceases to amaze me! I hope this helps you

Thanks Trina,

I guess I will go out and double check the soil for more. I am sending some out on a trade : ) and when I re-plant the rest, they are going to a spot that I will not need to dig them up again, unless I'm digging up bulbs for sharing.

I ubderstand that...doing that myself today...hey dumb question, but have you ever planted potatoes before yes regular potatoes you eat at dinner

Nope, just the Sweet potatoe vines.

ok
