Jean-
This is what the "potato vine" I pictured does - it has these little
"bulbils" that turn into potatoes.....I usually collect the potatoes I can
find in order to keep control of the vine....seems to have worked so far.
BTW - the squirrels love the potatoes!!!!! But even a 1/2 eaten potatoe will
make a vine. This vine does very nicely in the shadiest of spots.....great
for hiding things :o)
Happy Gardening
