If this is a stupid question feel free to call me retarted but is that actually how potatoes find the soil?
I guess so but they grow underground so it shouldn't be this hard for them to find soil.
not a stupid question, and the answer is yes! potatoes are really resilient. you can reproduce them by cutting off and planting their 'eyes' (sorry, that's the word for it - eww), and they also contain a ton of energy that lets them reach out like something from a nightmare.
i once forgot about a bag of potatoes i bought and left under the kitchen sink for a while. it was like a scene from a Cronenberg movie when i found it
