We planted potatoes by mistake one year, and they were the best we’ve ever had. At our old house, we had a compost heap at the end of a series of decks. We would walk out and hurl vegetables into the heap. Apparently, one of the potatoes that was thrown in the direction of the compost heap ended up in a large pot on the railing of the deck. At the end of the season, we were pulling the plant that grew in the pot out to compost it, when we discovered a bunch of perfect new potatoes. They were delicious! So tender!
We’ve never done it again, but there is clearly more than one way to grow potatoes. :)
