I planted a potato and now its growing. I had no plans for this happening.
-
What did you expect? Kittens? A diamond?
Omg are kittens an option?
-
wtf do you mean, you fucking planted it xD of course that was your "intention", unless you didn't know that plants grow when planted, which I wouldn't believe you even if you said it.
I mean, I barely planted it. I just tossed it into some dirt and here we are. I had no Step 2
-
It wasn't my intention, but here it is. Still too frosty to plant outside but it's getting bigger every day.
This also isn't the best pot to have used for transplanting, I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.
Advice is welcome. No I won't eat this potato, because it's raw.
That will need repotting soon. Just don't neglect your ear muffs.
-
Ah, appreciate that
So if I bury it in deeper dirt, should be good to go?
Probably.
I mean, you should take the time to Google it if you want it to turn out well.
But in general bury a tuber and it'll grow. It's basically just a root that stores crazy amounts of energy. They all evolved to have that part buried underground.

Potatoes form underground but they can also flower and make fruit. The fruit looks like a little tomato. My advice is to not eat the fruit; it is toxic.
Also, it needs a way bigger pot to make more potatoes.
mmmm, tasty toxicity, yummy!

Let's see, next I'll build a granary, worker then settler.
Just... one... more... turn...

Potatoes, tomatoes and nightshade are all related species, yep. Tomato is the odd one out for not having poisonous fruit.

I saw a picture of a potato Eldrich horror (posted elsewhere in this thread) and figured I should give the potato a home
A potato is much happier as vodka as indicated by common potato lifecycle charts.

Go for animal husbandry first so you can see the horse resources

You'd need to plant a kitten for that. At least that's what I'm concluding from our very small sample size, I'm not a scientist.

LOL this pic was my inspiration
Buddy saw an incomprehensible eldritch terror covered in sightless eyes, yearning for life, stretching myriad limbs in every feasible direction and said I gotta have one

To be more specific, potatoes and tomatoes are nightshades. Eggplants, too.

Congratulations you have discovered agriculture
Potatoes are next level though. Or the most basic level.
I planted a bunch of red potato chunks in some tilled dirt. BAM! Quintupled what I put in with zero effort. Next time I'll mound them up properly and get a year's supply off 4 or 5.

You can grow potatoes easily in five gallon buckets. Just put layer of soil layer of Cut up potatoes, layer of soil, layer of potatoes, and voila, free potatoes.

If you can grow two things it should be potatoes and pumpkins. Just about a complete protein, and they're easy to grow and store for long periods.

for the mandrake??

I dropped a potato on the tile floor in my pantry and it ended up looking more aggressive than this. I'd say they like it rough. Pull it's hair a little bit and talk offensively about it's mother.

Congratulations! Actions have consequences! Now you're the proud parent of a baby potatoe plant!

Yeah, potatoes don't give a flying fuck. Literally just drop them on the ground and half ass cover them in straw and they'll grow.
