My New Pet Potato

I say that like there was an old pet potato.  There wasn't.  In fact, I didn't even know you could have a pet potato, but here we are.


A week or so ago I used up the last of a bag of organic Yukon Gold potatoes and found a teeny tiny potato left in the bottom.  It was the size of a small olive, a sort of flat-ish olive.  Somehow it had rolled through the sorter and landed in my bag of potatoes.

It was way too small to think about cooking, but it had a tiny sprout starting on it so I decided to stick it in a pot and give it a chance to grow and reach it's full potential and for the next couple of days I carried it outside during the day and back inside for the freezing nights.

And I named it Dug.

Since everyone is already making fun of me, would anyone else like to join in and follow Dug's summer of adventures?

Thanks for the smile. I hope Dug has lots of babies who grow up big and strong; never had much luck with potatoes here.

You'll be transplanting Dug when it warms up a bit won't you? He won't reach his potential in that small pot. He'll need room to stretch out his toes and then grow more little Dugs. :-)

Sure I will be planting my spuds after this projected snow/rain/cold spell. They can be Dug and the Duggets .

I would love to watch Dug grow and find his way in the world.
Take Care,

Welcome to Punkin's Patch wee Dug. You are going to love it here. You landed in the perfect CrazySheepLady's bag at just the right time to be adopted.

May you thrive with your sheep cousins. Stay away from Maisie though.

I grew potatoes for the first time two years ago and I loved it. Good luck!!

Yes, please!!

Dug and the Dugettes- lol!!!!
Yukon Gold make the best homemade french fries. Maybe Dug's last name should be Le Pomme de Terre... (French for Potato)
