New feature on spudart.org! On left hand side of the homepage at www.spudart.org is the growth progress of a sweet potato in my dining room. About every day or so I’ll take a photo of it and post it on the site. The entire progress of the potato plant will be archived at: https://www.spudart.org/blogs/potato.
Watching potatoes grow
Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31

Thanks to Margret for this thoughtful gift.
wow. a potato. how exciting! i’ve got two red potatoes in my refrigerator produce drawer. should i photo them every day to see how long they stay fresh? how long does it take potatoes to go bad, spud? you of all people should know….
potatoes go bad when you go bad.
the new Fox special: “When Potatoes Go Bad”…..
The new Gone Wild video series: “Spuds Gone Wild!”
The sweet potato actually makes a very nice house plant. The vines have a nicely-shaped leaf. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t know if the water in your glass should come up that far on the potato. Last time I sprouted a sweet potato I kept about half an inch of the spud’s bottom in the water. The spud will root … not rot *wink*
ohmigosh! thanks for the tip tom! Oh my pooor sweet potato. he’s drowning! Ohhhhhhhh, i need to go home right now!
No need to panic, buddy! He’ll be fine until you get home tonight :”>
*panting* oooooh, i hope so!
the potato may be a girl. don’t assume until you’ve checked for sure…
