Purple Potatoes
#1
I just had to post some good news on an experiment. I had gotten some purple potatoes, not sweet potatoes regular potatoes, from Abundant Life, and didn't get around to using them before they starting to sprout eyes. So I got two buckets filled with several inches of cinder and compost and planted them not expecting much. I noticed they looked like they were dying yesterday, and on further inspection saw purple bulbs emerging. I started digging and found, WALA! lots of yummy potaotes. I can't believe how many potatoes formed from that small amount I had planted. This is at 2000 feet in Mountain View. It didn't take very long either, maybe 5-6 weeks?
I wish I knew the variety, I'll have to look next time I'm there. I'm going to save a few and let them sprout and try again.
Aloha, Angela
