    Potato

    Oh wow... you're kidding.   Thank you.    Is there anything I should do with it?  Can I eat the potatoes at some point?    I had some that sprouted in the compost bin and I remember trying to plant one but I thought it died.  Do you think it will be OK.   I'm very excited.  I've never grown potatoes before (obviously) cause when I start reading about "first earlies, second earlies" etc my head spins. 

    Thanks for the lightning fast ID!

  • Yes they should be OK to eat, but not yet. You need to bring the soil up aroud them so the potato tubers don't go green in the sun. They are inedible if they are green so the soil will stop this happening.

    They are really easy to grow, enjoy.
