    So i tried growing potatoes for the first time this year. Plants currently look killer at crotch height. They are actually producing fruit. Which apparently only happens once every 5 years or so.

    We did them in pots this year. First batch didn't do so well. Hope the rest produce more. Don't eat green potatoes!

    Nice. Been gardening with my parents and then on my own for my whole life, can only remember a couple of years that the plants produced fruit. But yeah, definitely don't eat them.
