LOPRUTS is an acronym for Length of potato root under the sink.

THIS WAS ON MY OLD SITE, i COULDN'T LEAVE IT OUT!

This came about when I opened the cupboard under the sink and found a potato that had grown a root about 16 inches (35cm) long. What I didn't know was how long it had been there. I suggested to my widely spread family that perhaps we could all try and grow a root under the sink and see what ensued.

I have travelled South on a number of occasions in the last few months to inspect growth and have been pleasantly surprised. In a few weeks I shall have photographs of all the contenders.
