My conclusion is at least here you can leave some in the ground for next year and this is what I did.
The ground doesn't freeze here so it wont kill the potato just the stuff above ground. |
My sweet potatoes have done the same. I grew them in fabric pots, but I didn't realize that the roots grew right through the bottoms of the fabric pots and cut loose in the ground. I followed the roots for a few feet in every direction and then I just gave up. Well now they're sprouting. They're also sprouting in the compost pile that I may or may not have forgotten to turn in quite a while. That's fine by me, though. Food that I can't kill is the best food of all.
I attached a picture of the bottom of one of the pots.
