Potato Experiment

[Ruth]

This is all true, but there is one minor flaw with her experiment which is that the last potato she grew is a different variety which does, in fact, sprout a little faster than the others. Still, organic is certainly much, much better than bud nipped! I have my first crop of sweet potatoes growing in my garden. These are vines I started in the same way that this young lady started hers, in water. The potatoes I used are from the garden of an old shaman lady friend of mine who is originally from the mountains in Kentucky. She has been growing new crops of potatoes from seed potatoes she was given on her wedding day by her mother-in-law, some 55 years ago. I plan to carry on her tradition.

Thanks for sharing this, Pickle!
