In the Back of the Bin

This potato got pushed way to the back of the vegetable bin and l didn't know it was there. I have never seen anything like this before where new little potatoes start growing out of an old one. I know it happens but usually it is underground and not out in the open like this!
It looks like a bird nest with eggs.

A seed potato in the back of the bin! As @tunia said—looks sorta like a nest with eggs. Seriously should tag for EOTB if there’s one going now!

how wonderful - does look like a nest

Oh yes, definitely tag it- I think I've forgotten to start it which I'll do tomorrow and back date. EOTB-147 or EOTB147 I forget how it's usually tagged- but tag it both ways so that I don't miss it when it comes time to short list for voting. This is really cool!

Fun find and you turned it into a lovely still life
December 17th, 2022  
What a great find and capture, it must have been there for ages! Love the little one hanging on the bottom.

You will never have to buy a potato again if you play this right
December 17th, 2022  
That's pretty amazing. Mine seem to rot and stink.
December 17th, 2022  
Oh wow! Looks like you are growing little alien babies.....What a find!
December 17th, 2022  
First of all. Great shot. Secondly. I’m with you in that I thought they seeded in the ground.

Holy guaccamole! My first thought was it was a pretty christmas decoration. Especially because of the neat presentation!
Didn't you also had a tomato that grew little plants?
December 17th, 2022  
Remember a time when you have just thrown it away. Thank goodness for 365.

What a neat catch, nice background
December 18th, 2022  
I also thought it was a bird's nest at first. So unusual. I like the white background.
December 18th, 2022  
@ososki thanks so much Bill the background is from a small light box
@eudora I am glad you like it Diane My little light box makes so many photos like this easier to shoot.
December 18th, 2022  
Well as a gardener I find this fascinating!! I'm used to ones in the compost but this is amazing! Glad someone else's veg bin is a mystery!! fav
December 18th, 2022

Amazing find. As someone else mentioned, the ones I've had the misfortune of finding just rot and smell terrible.
December 20th, 2022  
@gardencat thank you Joanne. This is a first for me as well. I have much more experience with rotting spuds.
December 20th, 2022  
This is very awesome!! Beautifully captured.
December 20th, 2022  
@cocokinetic I’m so happy to hear that Karen! Thank you so much
December 20th, 2022  
Typically what I find in the back of the vegetable bin would not be fit for photographing! This is not only and awesome find, but and awesome shot of it! So perfect in the lightbox.
December 20th, 2022  
@marilyn that is usually my experience as well. So glad you like it!
