@DownTheStreet yes they will. It's not his fault it's mine for putting off building it's greenhouse

It can be saved, just put it in a safer place

Depends, how much damage it did and how much time it stayed like that. There are always some chances of them regrown.

MiraRoss · 31-35, F

@ABCDEF7 a little root damage and most of the top as seen in picture I did I bit of digging to see if there was anything more but nah. Maybe 25 minutes like that I was bathing my kid so around that 25 minutes mark I came down to it

@MiraRoss If you had put that back properly in the soil after returning and made it moist with some water, chances are it will regrow.

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

Potatoes are pretty hardy and might still be ok as long as the rooting system is good

MiraRoss · 31-35, F

@Picklebobble2 yes the roots are crazy good

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

@MiraRoss Should be ok to repot then.
Although if you plan to plant directly into soil make sure the soil's not waterlogged.

MiraRoss · 31-35, F

@Picklebobble2 there not waterlogged I make sure of that only water once it's dry on top

kodiac · 22-25, M

Should be ok you really don't want the above ground parts to be that big ,it takes away from the potatoes growing underground

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M

Place orange or lemon peels at the base. Smell will keep cats away.

MiraRoss · 31-35, F

@MrBrownstone I hear this alot truth is it doesn't work

Quimliqer · 70-79, M

Cover them with soil. Buy the cats a litter box!!

MiraRoss · 31-35, F

@Quimliqer there's two liter boxes in the house

I'm sure they'll be fine.
