Potatoes

Potatoes - May 12

Potatoes - June 22
But really, that second picture could have been taken a week ago or more.

My potato growing history.
I'm following instructions found years ago from http://www.rain.org/~philfear/garden.html.

My first attempt at potatoes was foiled when I had to move out of the house. So I just dropped the potatoes I was growing from on a pot. [link]
The results were small, but I was surprised to get them at all. [link]
I used one of them the next year. [link]
It didn't work because of how I treated it. [link]
Last year I got a potato to overcome it's growth retardant and sprout. That was all indoors, though. [link]

This is what I think of every time I think about po-tay-toes.
