It wasn’t my intention, but here it is. Still too frosty to plant outside but it’s getting bigger every day.
This also isn’t the best pot to have used for transplanting, I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.
Advice is welcome. No I won’t eat this potato, because it’s raw.
Been a while since I kept a garden but if I remember right you have to keep piling dirt on top (after transplanting of course). I put mine in the ground then set a cardboard box around it, adding dirt inside the box as it grew. The dirt needs to be loaded and loose for the potatoes to grow. Maybe this method was just to make harvesting easier. I recall something about the potatoes being toxic if they grew in sunlight?
I’m seeing elsewhere in the thread that it’s the potato fruit that’s toxic; the taters themselves remain delicious (once grown)
