It just shouldn't be here, this is one of last years rejects thrown away but somehow managed to roll in to a corner and survived winter growing on solid concrete, I'm going to call it 'Bruce' after Bruce Willis and the Die hard films.

Bruce here is flexing it's muscles, now standing at 7 inches tall.

A little night photo shoot is called for and Bruce has shot up hasn't he.

Bruce is bursting forth

Hard to believe all this is from one potato.

There are times when a man's got to do what a man's got to do and Bruce is no longer with us.

Over the past few days small brown patches started to appear on the leaves, it spread quickly so I dug it up and discovered these 'growths' on the tubers (see, I know the right name). Sorry Bruce, can't risk it.

This is not the end of the potato for there is still the 'Potato In A Bucket' challenge I'm running on a sister site, one potato, one bucket, five people so far and the link . . . it's here. (new window)
