Salvaged Potato

Ian discovered a potato sprout in our compost pile the other day. He was excited about it (and so was I), so we planted it in our garden. We'll see how it does. I put a box out there around it today so that we can pile the soil up deeper—a temporary 2-story enclosure. It seems a little late for starting to plant something, but the fall weather has been great and potatoes seem like something that could survive some cold.
