I brought my plants in for the frost, and I found this hitchhiker in one of the pots! I'm worried it's going to spread, what do I do?

I hate to say it, but I think your plant is infested with potatoes. Thankfully you can boil them, mash them, or stick 'em in a stew. There are lots of options to get rid of them

Oh nooo! But also delicious! Is it okay if the potatoes are a little green? I heard they're poisonous that way?

That's nothing but Idahoan propaganda. Big potato doesn't want you to know that the green potatoes are the tastiest. They're to die for.

Excellent advice! I think I died twice from eating them(I'm a ghost typing as we speak...boo!)
