    agree with nut, did you use home made compost? This could be where it came from.

    Yep, potato.  Squirrels pinch mine when I dig them up and leave to dry in the sun and often bury them in pots around the garden!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Really?? Yes I used homemade compost. Shall I leave it and we can make some chips? image Many thanks folks.

    Definitely spud, you'll probably get some tomatoes as well, we all fuss over our little plants, then see them popping up all over the garden, heap up some soil around it as it grows, you will have a dinners worth, and no doubt you will love the flowers?????

    Do you put potato peelings in your bin, that's all you need for a plant, you saw that big bowlful I dug up from the compost in the greenhouse last year, had enough for nearly a week. 

    Not bad for never planting a seed potato.
