Potato Leaves!

I am sure you have been waiting anxiously for the follow up. Or you couldn't care less. One of those. Anyway, on the 5th of this month I planted, along with some seed potatoes, a few broken off sprouts that looked like they might possibly have root nubs.


Of the three I planted, one looks like it will not make it, one is still unknown and one has leaves and is growing! Very exciting as it was an experiment, although I did think it was possible. Now I will just have to see if it actually produces any potatoes.



The seed potatoes are not showing leaves yet but I did not expect them to this soon. Now you can all settle your office pools for if and how long it would take.

Hi Clare, I KNEW it would grow! Saw some garlic and shallot "bulbs" at the home/garden show this past weekend - lo and behold, the "bulbs" were shallots and garlic,a little dried out. Will have to try this.
