I brought some of those little spuds of different colors, I think of  
them as boutique potatoes, from Phoenix. Set them aside and watched  
them. Some began to sprout, so I planted them. Some did not sprout so  
I figured they had endured a chemical indignity that prevents  
sprouting. Finally I saw the tiniest of beginning sprouts so they also  
went into the dirt. Now watching and waiting.
