I planted a potato and now its growing. I had no plans for this happening.

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'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.
-
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.
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.

That will need repotting soon. Just don't neglect your ear muffs.
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!

I mean, I barely planted it. I just tossed it into some dirt and here we are. I had no Step 2
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.

Yeah, but I mean your intention was still "lol this is so stupid, let's see if this shit will grow", maybe subconsciously or something. But maybe I'm just being autistic and that's just what you wanted to express by "lying" about your intentions, I sometimes forget that's how people communicate.
Sorry in any case, carry on, have fun, love you

If you planted a potato expecting it not to grow, you've clearly never had a potato in your pantry start sprouting.

Oh farmers, pray that your summers be wet and your winters clear.

Get a 5 gallon bucket, put a few inches of dirt in the bottom, and transplant your potato plant into it. When there is no chance of frost, stick it outside in a sunny spot. As it grows higher, keep adding more soil, until it reaches the top.
In the fall, when it starts getting cool, dump it out and sift through the dirt for the spuds.

Potatoes grow without dirt, nor water , by just laying around in the fridge. You put one in the soil and "didn't expect it to grow"?

If you want to pollinate it to collect seed (debatable if that's a good decision), use an electric toothbrush. The pollen needs the vibrations of a pollinator to be released.
-
Also don't plant any of the seeds these flowers may make. They could be poisonous.
Potatoes (and tomatoes, and I think eggplants) are nightshades, and we grow them by sticking them in the ground because new offshoots are clones.
Keep it as a flower, though, its neat.
Two low glycoalkaloid varieties are unlikely to create a high glycoalkaloid variety (and its unlikely to find a high glycoalkaloid variety outside of south America. But it's possible. Like two short people having a tall child.
Also its probably sterile.

Interesting, thank you!

Well, it's not that I didn't expect it to grow so much as I had zero expectations

It wasn't so much that I didn't expect it to grow, as I had zero expectations, and so my expectations were surpassed

Thank you! I am taking the advice of this thread and will ensure that it lives a happy and healthy long life.
