A coworker found this potato on the floor at the thrift store a couple weeks ago. It'd rolled behind a shelf when we closed mid-March for Covid.
I put it in this vintage, fluted, glass candy dish to be our mascot.
When we came back after the uprisings in response to the police murdering George Floyd, the dish lay in pieces on the floor. I picked up the undamaged potato, took it home and planted its eyes (with some potato attached).
Anyone know anything about potatoes? Will it grow?
UPDATE: OK--thanks friends, for the potato-growing advice!
I have covered most of the eyes-sprouts with soil, because that's where the roots come from. And I will continue to add soil as it produces potatoes (if it does).
