home grown potato

A potato sprout was planted some time July. First leaves were seen in about ten days. The plant stopped growing after two months or so. Ideally potato plants need soft soil, regular water supply but water shouldn't stagnate. Here the soil was slightly hard and logged water during rainfall. When the plant flowers, its time for harvest which is around the end of three months. This plant never flowered and past three months. On digging up the roots, two potato were found. Its a good yield considering the conditions.

The boiled potato tasted good. A successful experiment.
