more exciting news from around the farm (and the least expected of all). I've started planting vegetables we meant to eat that have "gone bad" - ones that have continued on the natural course of their life before we could eat them.
this is a potato that we found at the back of our cupboards at the beginning of quarantine. potatoes, strangely enough, can grow without soil. this one had some pretty impressively long roots so I decided to plant it instead of tossing it out. knowing nothing about potatoes I assumed we'd passed the point where it could grow into a plant. I don't think I'd even remembered to water it.
And then today my eye caught this little fleck of green coming out from the dirt. To be honest I'm not sure if this is a new thing or if I only noticed it today. I'm going to have to get much better at documentation if I'm going to learn and pass on any meaningful knowledge.
