I planted a potato and now its growing. I had no plans for this happening. - eviltoast

It wasn’t my intention, but here it is. Still too frosty to plant outside but it’s getting bigger every day.

This also isn’t the best pot to have used for transplanting, I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.

Advice is welcome. No I won’t eat this potato, because it’s raw.

    I’m not a potatologist, but it seems like it should be fine to let it grow in there for a couple more weeks. It’s happy there, and that’s the main thing.

    Then transplant it to a big bin/pot/raised bed or the ground outside. If it’s root bound just cut down on the sides of the root tangle and detangle them a bit before planting. Put a big clear plastic tub/tote over it at night if it will be frosty.
