One of those stems is upside down. Don’t know that one will work. Why waste a perfectly good potato? Just lay a few leggy stems over onto the ground, anchor them with dirt or a rock and they’ll start new roots. Eat the potatoes for dinner.
I think the potato is to keep the stems moist. But, I’m wondering what’s to stop the eyes on the tater from growing new tater plants?
LOL, I didn’t notice that...LOL. I have a stem in a flower pot, waiting for the roots to start. But I saw a really pretty rose next to a post office in a town nearby, so next time I’m over there, I’ll do the spud trick.
