We’re growing potatoes
May 22nd, 2008 by Jill
One of my family members told me that my great aunt used to bury kitchen scraps in her garden between her rows of vegetables, and that her vegetables grew terrifically. I have a compost bin, but it was getting full, so a few months ago, I buried a few kitchen scraps under a tree.
I wasn’t expecting them to, but sprouts started to grow out of a few of the spots where I’d buried my scraps.
Look at what this one is:
Potatoes!
I just finished starting my container garden on Saturday and noticed that my little zucchini is starting to grow!
I am excited to read about your potatoes! Are you still growing artichokes? I am dying to try them here next year!
That is so cool!
I have some organic potatoes that have just sprouted eyes, and I’ve been really tempted to try digging them in somewhere rather than in the compost heap, just to see what will happen. Your experience is encouraging!
