HOLLY COW!! I can not believe it, but our potatoes are growing!!! Becky and I bought some in March and we were told to cut up one and let it dry out for a day or two. Well...a week later they were STILL on the counter and even growing a little mold on them (I'm just plain BAD about getting around to doing things some times. My mother battled with this with me for YEARS and was the root of many arguments). I either needed to throw them away or plant them and I decided, "what the hell, I'll plant them," After weeks of nothing we figured that they were so far gone when I planted them that nothing would grow. Well, low and behold Monday when I went out to water out of nowhere there were three sturdy potato plants growing. I could NOT believe it and was so excited I about peed my pants. I have never grown potatoes before and am eager to reap the fruits (or vegetables) of this endeavor. What I can't get is how they just seemed to appear over night. It seemed like one day they weren't there and the next they were.
