go camote go!!!
it’s hard to believe that i was so happy with this growth
and that i was so happy a week later when it ‘spurted’ to this height
but oh my gosh look at what it looks like now!!!
the main stem has 15 open leaves!!! that’s right, i count the leaves every day! when i come home or down the stairs, i say, “hello, plant!!” and then i count the leaves. leaf 11 opened up last monday, 12 on tuesday, 13 on wednesday, then it took till today to open up 14 and 15.
isn’t she purrrrty?
there’s two and a half other shoots coming out of the potato but none of them are tall. they’ll make healthy plants though. and someday real soon, i’m gonna cut the top 8 leaves or so off of the tall shoot and make some cuttings. i’ll have lots of mini plants! =) i’m sooo excited!
