You say potato I say potar-to




I did a lot of research, asking friends, reading message boards, doing google searchings all because I wanted to grow the humble potato. Really I couldn't justify the cost of buying a bag of seed pototo's ,which may be my downfall, opting instead to use some organic pototoes I brought to boil, bake, mash and eventually eat..yumm!!! So far so good they are sprouting very well almost scarily so in the past couple of weeks they have gone from little tiny sprouts just barely breaking earth to OMG what if they outgrow the buckets I put them in. But it's not what is growing on the top that counts it's what is happening underneath. I haven't started dreaming that a giant, zombie potato chasing me down the road in my pj's nightmare yet and cross fingers I won't but here's a couple of pictures to show you what I mean - yikes.
