I hasten to add that this was not intentional but was accidentally
served up for breakfast by a well meaning relative. Spud number 2 enters the stage.
now you don't.
Spud #2 was placed whole on a bed of 4 inches of compost so that the eyes that looked promising were facing upwards. Spud #3 was cut into pieces with one or two eyes to a piece and placed around Spud #2. Then the whole mess was covered over with a weeks worth of used coffee grounds. Will that work? Makes Ivy grow like crazy. Anyway, I figure this will give me a supply of material to cover the growing (hopefully) plants.
I think we are suffering from DSS. (Dud Spud Syndrome) There are signs of life; a few ants and one small spider. Unfortunately, it remains devoid of flora. My experience with potatoes is limited to cooking and eating; but, you would think it could at least muster a parasitic fungus. Guess I'll sprinkle a bit of water on it now and then and just leave it
