The meter cupboard is a great place in which to store potatoes. There are handy hooks just for their hessian or paper bags to hang, quiet, cool, out of the way, in the dark.
And for the last few of last year's crop of Desiree to be forgotten about entirely.
But they don't give in and die.
Oh no, not at all.
They reach out....
And out....
And out.
I am impressed, amused and ashamed.

Scary!
Years ago I pulled out the washing machine and found a sprouting spud. It was much scarier than yours and the tendrils were so long they turned my stomach. There's something spooky about them.
That is utterly delightful! And what a pretty colour the shoots are, too!
Living sculpture!
I'm impressed too!
They're such a pretty colour. I'd be tempted to plant those to see what happens...
I feel much better about my mud room now.

Don't be ashamed ...... I've seen similar things back at home when we were kids.... dark dry cupboards produce the best and longest fingers ever. So far I've only been able to come up with small stubby fingers after months of neglect....... but, mine are kept out in the cold well lit garage.
So you rolled up your sleeves and made Rosti?
One word: Wow!
Now a sentence: I had no idea they could do that!
Oops! I found the shoots slightly creepy - but perhaps that's because there have been old sci-fi films on tv this week!
Oh! that is the stuff of nightmares!
They look exactly like mine!!! I sprouted some and made soup..
unreal.. I think we could be sisters!
This post and accompanying photos made me laugh out loud. I do miss you!!

I love Lottie's expression! And,yes,WOW!
They look creepy to me, too . . . in every sense of the word. Huge long slithery spider legs reaching out to grasp whatever they can. Me! if I'm not careful.
Sinister and scary - make me shudder. Eurgh.
A bit creepy looking, a bit artistic looking but also quite a pretty colour pink? They'd have pushed the door open eventually to let you know they were there!
They look like something out of a Dr Who programme!
Good to make your acquaintance. Love your blog, (especially the cats!) Found you through Mountainear. Look forward to following your posts and progress
warm wishes

lovely to see the Glengorm bag. Lovely reminder of a lovely holiday.
you could always plant them in the potato fest bag :)
Actually, I think they are rather pretty in an exotic way. Some orchids are creepy looking, too.
