okay i know this is a dumb question but are volunteer potatoes
poisonous?
my mother is driving me around the bend on this issue:S.
we have a few red potato that came through from last years crop so we
hilled them up.
my mother said they were poisonous if they came up from last years
potatoes and darn well not to even think of eating them.
now to my way of thinking i dont see it as she does i think volunteer
potatoes should be just as good as any other potatoes.
anyone got thoughts on this :S.
cyaaaaa, sockiescat.


Mothers don't always know best.
Hill them up, harvest them and eat them in good health.
