You’re a thorough reprobate @NewBoy2 ... I’m astonished at you😱
Mind you it’s only because my OH has much more willpower than I do that I’ve not been able to send him into the village 🚲 to the proper fish and chip shop 🍽

"Go on, pooh pooh the warnings if you choose to, like Trump said COVID was no worse than flu"
I don't think @NewBoy2 was pooh-poohing - just asking. Always good to ask. There are so many gardening myths out there.
I read something about not eating spuds that are beginning to sprout.... I always just cut the sprouty bits off and boil the spuds. Is that what others do? Is it recommended?
Nowt wrong with tobacco, I've not read the source but my son said this morning they are investigating a correlation of a low number of smokers being hospitalized with Covid 19. Thank the the lord for B&H.
It was from a French study that showed lower levels of patients with Covid-19 were smokers...

As an Ulsterman I can remember my mother rubbing off the sprouts and saying that as long as the leaves weren't green the potatoes were fine. Wouldn't eat green potatoes though.
If you put them in the compost they won't rot, they'll grow! Maybe if you dug the eyes out, the rest of the potato would rot; I've never tried it. It's generally not a good idea to save your own potatoes to plant, as I found out the hard way this year. About a third of the potatoes I dug up were scabby. But if you're going to do it, I don't see why green ones wouldn't do just as well. But someone might know better.
Dont run with scissors.....a swan can break your arm... mouth ulcers mean you have been telling lies and eating green potatoes makes you ill.
Has anyone eaten green spuds and got sick.?
Yes, me last night. Couple of hours after eating our own home grown potatoes, kept for a while but some had turned half -green in ground. Cut away green parts and boiled rest, cooked with skin too. Bad tummy followed by vomiting and bad diahorrea .On talking to son today he said that he had tried some of the spuds we had given him and they tasted sour/off and so did n't eat. Realise now should n't have eaten green ones even if green part cut off. Have thrown them all out.
