    It does not matter, really, but eyes facing up (or to the sun) will make it easier for them to grow and applies to all types with eyes, including tuberous plants.

    This is expected. What is happening is that the roots are drowning. While roots need water, they also need air to function correctly. Too much standing water blocks the air and suffocates the roots.

    In hydroponics, where plants are grown in nothing but water, the water must be kept moving to help aerate it so that the roots can get air from the aerated water.

    Good for you - starting to go green! Food to table is the way to go( as often as possible). I havc started many types of vegetables from seed indoors. Peas are easy as are carrots. You amy want to purchase a seed starter kit and/ or a germination station that comes with a heating pad.
