potato sprouts.

I took this shot because I like the colors...

I use to put potato plants at light to get healthy sprouts before planting end of march. I have to wait 110 days before harvesting the first new potatoes.

Lovely. The beauty in small things
Here north of the arctic circle we plant the potatoes early june, sometimes even later.

Hi, Bjørn !

I even didn't know that potatoes can grow beyond arctic circle. So now, I won't be worry any more if the weather gets cold...

Thanks for visiting.

Great Shot
I will never look at potatoes the old way again.

Potatoes are hardy and tough, they can grow in the northernmost part of Norway. It may be cold summers, but remember we have sunlight even at night, that helps the growth.  We grow enough to supply us the whole year.

I agree, lovely and beautiful.  Potatoes are indigenous to Peru and Bolivia where they are grown even above 10,000'. I have red and yellow potatoes growing "wild" in the back, sprouting from stock that has been stored a bit too long.

Ah yes, of course. I forgot that !

By the way, just watched BBC' broadcast, I probably could as I am in England : very interesting about Norway history. I enjoyed it and I recognized some pictures you posted here

You could perhaps plant them, Gary.

California may be too hot to grow potatoes, or too dry ?

Thanks for your comments.

Nice colors and applause for making the ordinary look unordinary and otherworldly.

Thank you Fons & Børge

That is what I meant to say. When the potatoes get old I plant them. I have red and yellow (Yukon) potatoes growing wild in the yard.
