    not sure if this is the right place for this, but just been sorting through a pile of pots and found these- thought they were naked mice, turned out to be some forgotten potatoes where each spud had tried in vain to make babies, poor things. Put them in nice big pots, fresh soil, will see what happens to them image.jpg image.jpg

        Appears as if the babies are born pregnant. I've seen this in some of my lost and found seed spuds and thought it really weird.
