Marge-
I guess we will know this time next year....I plan on leaving this one in the
pot, in the greenhouse, over winter this year. Next year I will find him a
home and we will see if this ones forms the bubils (potatoes) along the stem.
The picture did not give this one justice - the leaf pattern is really quite
nice. This is the first year I've seen it available also----haven't checked
Glasshouse Works yet, if anyone would have it they certainly would. It was
only $3.99 for a 6" pot - not too awfully costly for something different.
Well - our weather has warmed again - we are back to the low 90's in the
afternoon. We were teased with highs in the mid 70's last week.....looking
forward to another cold front moving down.
Happy Gardening
