Earlier this spring, I found a little potato sprouting in the pantry drawer. I cut up the potato and planted the sprouts in a big green pot on a table next to several tall windows. Lots of light shines down even through the widening leaves of the oak tree outside. No high hopes for a great potato crop but I did have a wee hope to see just a bit of green poke through the soil. Guess what?
I have in my midst what one friend described as “a lovely green monster” that any moment now is going to shout, “Feed me!”
Are actual potatoes growing beneath the dark soil? Will I grow my first potato crop ever in a big green pot sitting on a sun-drenched table in Somerville, MA? Stay tuned, my friends, stay tuned. 😉
