It wasn't my intention, but here it is. Still too frosty to plant outside but it's getting bigger every day.

This also isn't the best pot to have used for transplanting, I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.

Advice is welcome. No I won't eat this potato, because it's raw.

I am curious what your intentions were for a potato that you planted that wasn't supposed to grow?

I ask because it might help formulate a plan if we can determine your intentions and expectations.

Maybe they watched The Martian and wanted to test the scientific accuracy.

This raises even more questions! Did they poo in that pot? And still, if they didn't intend for it to grow, why did they put it in soil‽

I saw a picture of a potato Eldrich horror (posted elsewhere in this thread) and figured I should give the potato a home

A potato is much happier as vodka as indicated by common potato lifecycle charts.
