Potatoes! I don't believe it
Lat June I planted out some potatoes that I had found with nice little
sprouts on them, Nothing happened, well 1 did throw up a pathetic sprout but gave up after a couple of weeks. Well I went down there today and blow me, there is a lovely row with potatoes all about 2 inches high. I have never heard of potatoes sitting dormant for almost a year in the soil.

David Hill I find potatoes are one of the worst "weeds". An old potatoes bed will continue to sprout for 2 or three years, it is impossible to remove all the tubers. when they surface after your seed bed had germinated they are a pain in the neck! |
