potatoes?

when i stopped by the house Friday to check on things and photograph the wheatgrass what did i stumble on? really late potatoes…obviously i missed a couple during harvest and since that are a cool weather red the germinated when the weather cooled…they will never reach maturity but it is indicative of the possibility of multiple crops of the same strain in a year…potatoes evolved in a vavilov center in the andes ( all vavilov centers are in mountainous regions )that provided a variety of microclimates across the vertical reach of the arable land so i wonder if multiple crops were possible by simply replanting some seed potatoes at a higher elevation after a harvest at a lower one…ah…more research…time to break out some steven b. brush
