Strange question! Guess there has been some potato give away or something? Ha ha!

Mine are just sitting in the vegetable trays waiting to be eaten as normal!

Mr Potato Head however is looking very fetching today on the book shelf.

Is that good or bad? I'll have to go and give mine a squeeze to see if they're hard or soft..... :blush:

Don't forget to do the same to the potatoes :laughing:

We are going to the garden centre tomorrow to get sweet potoates to grow as DD doesn't eat white pots.

I believe you plant them with the shoots upwards (although my shoots are still tiny, even after 2 weeks of chitting!).Good luck.xx
