Potatoes

in garden •  7 years ago 

I had some potatoes that had begun sprouting in the pantry, snd since they were putting in so much effort trying to grow, I cut them up and stuck them in a big old pot filled with dirt out on my deck. They are growing nicely, and I'll let you know in the fall if I have anything to harvest! I feel like quite the farmer!

wow thats great

I'll know this fall if any grow! Great leaves though.

For success you'll need to keep adding soil as the greens get higher. Look up "hilling potatoes". I made the mistake of not leaving enough room in my pot so I didn't get the bounty I should've. Good luck to you!

I planted them with the pot half full of dirt and just yesterday added another 4 inches. I've still got room for a bit more when the fresh dirt settles a bit. My grandpa taught me well! Thanks for the good luck wishes!
