I don't...and it shows :P

The organics haven't been sprayed with sprout inhibitors so that is why I went to the local hippy infested health food store. In fact I did them a favor by intentionally grabbing out the taters that had already developed eyes :D

My "seed potatoes" were potatoes I picked up at the health food store.

Location will make a Big difference.

Downpour and now I am stuck at work. I will try again tomorrow :D

I'll snap some pics when I go on break :D

I killed some of my potatoes too. Oops! The ones I planted in the ground are ok. It was the garbage can plants I killed off.

The chufa is growing well. It just looks like a pointy decorative grass. It hasn't minded our weird weather one bit. It doesn't seem to be bothering nearby plants at all. We had a few hard rains and some soil got washed away from the tops of one of the plants and there were some nice, plump...

Yup. Freeze away. Fire roast them first if you have time :D

I plant them because they are pretty AND edible.

It was worth a shot. Glad someone else did the experiment for you though :D Great time saver! LOL

And will Pop & Ava be selling any seeds from these wonderful tomatoes? (And Ava is adorable btw :D)

I know what you mean about not being able to get pictures. There are bees on my thyme that are so small i thought they were flies or big gnats! Then I looked really close and noticed they were black with silver stripes.
