I'm showing off this potato everywhere.

Because when you grow Salad Blue potatoes, you expect something like maybe two-three inches long, something nice to mash up and enjoy.


An 8-inch long potato

Eight freakin' inches.

What.

That's the most work safe eight inch purple thing that might've appeared on my reading page today...

Impressive growth. Hope it's tasty.

Hah! That potato is totally worthy of the "oddly-shaped vegetable" running gag in that one Terry Pratchett novel...

That is amazing. I love blue and purple potatoes, and this is an excellent specimen.

I've never even heard of that variety of potato before!

That's a very impressive specimen, I hope it tastes as good as it looks :)
