• Sprout development. The eyes of the potato develop sprouts, which emerge from the soil.
• Vegetative growth. The leaves, stems, and root system form, photosynthesis begins, and the plant prepares to store nutrients in tubers.
• Tuber initiation. Tubers begin forming on the end of stolons  usually before the plant flowers.
• Tuber bulking : Tubers become larger. Sugars and starches accumulate.
• Maturation. The tubers reach full size. The top of the plant dries out and dies. During maturation, the tuber skin toughens, extending storage life.

When the shoots reach 10 to 12 inches tall, use a  shovel to scoop soil from between rows and mound it against the plants, burying the stems halfway. Repeat as needed through the growing season to keep the tubers covered.

The crop failures were caused by late blight , a disease that destroys both the leaves and the edible roots, or tubers, of the potato plant. The causative agent of late blight is the water mold. The Irish famine was the worst to occur in Europe in the 19th century. All of the Irish had to flee to make a living and get food. Most chose to go to america.
