Here's a closer look. Note the ligher-colored outgrowths on the stem. They started at the base of the stem right at soil level. This might be crown gall, a disease caused by a soil bacterium that invades wounded tissue. I replaced the soil surrounding the plant and put in a store bought 'sweet 100' for the kids. Other plants are doing fine. Have two more potato top seeds for next year.
