Potatoes here, potatoes there, potatoes everywhere!

Well, so far my little experiment is going well. I see lots of green leaves!

I have two beds of potatoes grown from certified seed potatoes.

I have one bed of potato sprouts chopped off from my bag of organic potatoes (a bit of a naughty I know, but I wanted to see what happened)
I have about 7 seed potatoes in a mulch heap of mostly leaves and grass which doesn't get a lot of sun.

I have about 4-5 in my front garden full of a soil/clay/sand layers with full sun which have taken a long time to break through the surface and grow.

Oh, and can't forget the lonesome seed potato rolling around in my bedroom somewhere from where I sprouted them and it seems to find its way off the dresser down onto the floor and under the bed and back again - will that also produce? hehe

Our first potato sprout is up, but we don't know what happened to the other eyes we planted. My sweetie just started a sweet potato sprout a couple of days ago. I'm really looking forward to our own spuds!
