Thanks for posting the link, TropicanaRoses! It looks like there is some good information there, especially pertaining to tuber "eyes"-- great photo illustration for a frequently-asked question. I usually find that I can spot the eyes before they sprout. As long as they've been cured in the ground for a week or two after heavy frost, the bumps are often already up or if not, there are dark spots or faint patterning visible around the eye. Then again, I am nearsighted in such a way that I can read the tiny microprint on checks and security documents without a magnifying glass, so maybe I am not such a good example! :-D 2009-11-07T01:19:06+01:00 false 13564 2825 2009-11-07T01:19:06+01:00 25 (chuckle) That is actually a unique quality or ability, Satrina0. I wonder if you could find a job in which to use your exceptional talent? :) And thanks. I just thought that since I was given some good info, I should pass it along so that others can find its usefulness. :) 2009-11-07T04:53:14+01:00 false 13572 2825 2009-11-07T04:53:14+01:00 5779
