We bought some sweet potatoes. Our intention, of course, was to eat them. And we did eat some of them, but not the whole bag. Geneo discovered there were a couple left in the potato bin. They had begun to sprout. He decided it would be fun to see what would happen if he put one of them in water. He got a fruit jar, put some water in it, stuck the potato in the jar and set the jar in the kitchen window.
In no time at all it started to grow, and grow and grow. It's amazing how fast it grows. It is outgrowing the window. It's a very pretty plant, but we don't know what to do with it. Do we move it to the larger window in the living room? If we did, would it take over my violets and orchids? I think it's too late to plant it outside. We could throw it away, but I'm almost afraid to.
It's starting to remind me of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors. I think sometimes I actually hear it say, "Feed Me!" YIKES! Has Geneo turned into Seymour? Will he be trying to feed me to it??? It has become quite the object of interest in our house. I'm trying to not think about it, but if Buddy, the dog, comes up missing, I'm moving out!!!
