When I was weeding my garden this morning, I came across a strange looking "growth." See picture.
I tried pulling it out. I couldn't; it was strong. In my experience, if it's a vegetable or flower, it falls out easily. If it's a weed, like a dandelion, then it has strong roots and is difficult to pull out. So it must be a weed, right?
It is pretty. Here's another picture of another little one, just sprouting.
Maybe I'll ask around to see if anyone can identify it. Meanwhile, I thought I'd dig up the "thing" and pot it. It's pretty. I was going to bring it inside and keep it as a plant.
But when I dug it up, I saw that the plant was growing out of a rock--a big rock.
Wait a minute. I remembered that hubby told me he planted potatoes. I bet he put a potato with rooted eyes in the garden and this is what this plant is. You are supposed to cut up the potato and plant the eyes, not a whole potato. Wait till I tell him.
