Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries
The frying is the questionable part. (Well, the french part too but…)
Still vegetables! Everyone knows that a nice dinner at a Chinese buffet is healthy if you eat a few green beans lmao
A succulent Chinese meal?!?
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!!
I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.
But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!
The photo is terrifying.
It’s heading for the screen in the upper right to google for soil.
Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year’s from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
That’s because this is pretty much their natural lifecycle. They’re native to the Andes, where cold, dry weather is kind of the norm.
Never let your potato-pc run after midnight. Or this will happen.
If this is a stupid question feel free to call me retarted but is that actually how potatoes find the soil?
Potatoes revolutionized human agriculture once we discovered which parts of the plants weren’t poisonous. Unlike the human standard before that point, mostly grains, Potatoes can grow even on slopes and mildly rocky terrain.
Now I’m scared to eat potatoes what if it grows in my stomach
Then you will just be assimilated
Can I resist?
You can if you want, but it’s futile.
Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
Tell that to the Irish.
The Irish’s problem wasn’t that they weren’t growing enough food. Their problem is that Britain was taking all the food they did grow.
I just found that mine are growing little mini potatoes even though they didn’t find any soil.
They soiled themselves.
