Any ideas?

I was rooting around in a tub I planted one spare seed tatty in.
And came across these... whatever they are.???
They do squash and go pop...


They look like eggs of some sort but I think a bit large for your average beastie.
Under the scope does not really reveal anything.


Oh yes the tatties turned up really clean!

 

Err Robert, that`s what we in the trade call slow release fertilizer.:hehe::D

 

Hi David
Good to hear from you. I did think it may be that but what got me thinking is.
If its slow its very slow and has been in the bought in compost in a clump for the growing season.
I hope you are right and I think you are as I just cant imagine what sort of beastie would come out of an egg that size.
It may well be the organic potato fertilizer I used early on:gnthb:
:dh::dh::dh:

The thing is Rob, they don`t disolve to nothing. once the granules are done you just have these wet globules which "explode" quite messily when squeezed.:thumb:

 

Thats it then..! pleases me to hear you say that David.. I shall sleep tonight now and know better next year:gnthb::gnthb:

 

Sorry Rob, but I`ve gorra do it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::lollol::lollol::lollol:

 

You go for it... have a laugh on me:gnthb::hehe::hehe:

 

To wrap this story up here is a little video of "One pot and one potato.":gnthb:

 

Dai don't laugh - someone I know spent hours sifting through pulling them all out convinced they were weevil eggs!! :lollol::lollol:

 

No names Kate?:dh::dh:

 

Suffice to say it was a male of the species:wink:

 

I agree, I found some and kept watch until they hatched, dispose of them ASAP

 

I'd be worried that they were eggs of some sort. maybe little dragon eggs :-)
