how i accidentally figured out if my potatoes were bushy or wild

Last summer, I was super pumped to grow potatoes for the first time. I had no clue there were different types, but I noticed something weird. Some plants stayed short and bushy, while others just kept growing taller and sprawling everywhere. I started looking closer. The bushy ones stopped growing after a bit and all their flowers popped up at once. The wild, vining ones kept sending out new leaves and flowers for weeks. Turns out, the bushy plants are determinate—they finish fast and are great for small spaces. The wild ones are indeterminate, and they need more room and time, but you get more potatoes if you let them go. Now I check the leaves and growth style before planting. It’s like a secret code for potato success! #gardening #potatotips #growyourown #backyardgarden
