A few months ago, I had put some halved potatoes into the ground. It was hollowed out so we can catch some pill bugs (or rollie-pollies) for Graham's science project. Well, I had totally forgotten about them and crazy enough, a potato plant sprouted from one of these halves!
Here's the hollowed out potato. We didn't even actually bother catching any rollie-pollies. So technically, we have just been feeding them. LOL!Look at that, 3 pretty good sized potatoes!
I'm glad I had excitedly told my friend about these newly harvested potatoes. She mentioned something about the green parts being toxic. Yikes! Who knew!
I still managed to salvage a couple other little bits so those go into the same pile as the store bought ones:
It's a good thing we are not having to eat just what we grow. We would definitely starve. Ha ha!
