Can these possibly be the same potato plants I wrote about 2 weeks ago? Those potatoes were just poking their heads above the ground for the first time. These are 8 inches tall and ready for hilling. (Potatoes need their stems covered with dirt as they get tall, to protect the baby taters from light.)
Well, I’m impressed! When we started our seedling indoors, after 2 weeks they were just starting to think about growing leaves. The potatoes are much more ambitious.
