Maybe next time

Well looks like we're all good as they have started growing shoots again amazing if you ask me



Checked my potatoe plant after dinner and 3 of the stems were yuk so I have to dig them out before they rotted they still have a while to grow so didn't expect much. These were grown indoors and not long ago I did a post about my cat getting to them and it looks like he's got his claws in and that's why they went rotten. This would of been an amazing harvest if they had gone full term what a shame will know better next time
So devastated but lesson learnt for sure I will do again definitely

@Matt85 I have no clue it's my first time doing it there is one good stem that's it. If they don't have the leaves to harvest the suns light they can't grow

@MiraRoss let them sleep and see what happens
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 put them back in the soil without the rotten bits?
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss yeah tatoes are resillient as hell
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85
Put em in just like this?
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss One of those (the big one) looks edible. If it were me I'd plant the rest and see what happens.
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 yes the big ones crazy as the rest are small
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 it even has shoots on it? It couldn't be the original potato could it?
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss what do you mean the original potato 😠
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 I've grown them from potatoes
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss Yeah I understand that now lol
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 thought I was gonna be shouted at then haha
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss Lmao. No, we don't do that.
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 was thinking did I have too take the potatoes out after they started growing or something
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss As you can probably tell, I don't know much about potatoes. All I know is they grow just from being shut in a cupboard and left for 4 months. So I say, burry 'em and hope for the best!
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 fair enough true. I've put in enough soil to cover them and about 2 inches bellow them for the roots. As they grow if they do ill add more as they grow
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss Just think, if you were a potato, what would you like?
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Matt85 moist dark place? I should keep out of the sunlight till the shoots come out?
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@MiraRoss Yes...And I hope any gardners who want to correct me, will, for your sake.
