The Potatoes, Part II

You may remember that we planted potatoes a little late.  Nevertheless, Farmer was shocked when very few of them (like...1/16th of what we planted) came up.  But he had a plan, of course.  We would just plant something else in the rows of potatoes that hadn't germinated!  Brilliant!  So off he went to plow up the land.  When he was done, what do you think we found?  If you guessed "rotten, decaying pieces of potato with what appeared to be antlers growing out of them," congratulations.  Shockingly, the potatoes we had put in the ground had not simply disappeared in the intervening month or so as Farmer had assumed, and this made planting something else in those rows seem a little stupid.  The solution, of course, was to pick up the rotten, decaying potato pieces and their antlers (with our HANDS) and consolidate them all in one row, where of course they'll really grow this time.  For real.  Seriously.  We mean it, guys.  Come on.
