attempt 3 at potato

 The potatoes at Tesco...

The ones from US showed signs of growth. The ones from China had zero shoots. I read somewhere lots of the veggies we buy have some kind of growth inhibitor on them.

Anyways I bought just 1 piece of the US potato. Only concern is that it's native temperature would be a lot different from ours. So I'm not holding my breath for this to succeed.

Here goes...

5 July 2021 update: Leaves have been visible for a couple of days now. Unique looking leaves with green on top, with a furry purple bottom. 

I moved away some dirt to check if the potato was still intact. Lots of little roots around. Neighbour said that it won't work. She tried and all she got were leaves that eventually died off, and nothing in the ground except roots.
