Wow..I like the post. Didnt know all that.
Potatoes are also easy to grow!
My first year with a vegetable garden I was quite sick and had a fairly large plot for a city backyard garden. The dirt wasn't good.
I grew potatoes and squash due to their ease and they were bigger plants so less planting to fill up the space.
That year I had many potatoes to harvest!
@AffyAvo
that is pretty awesome wow. Did they taste delicious?
@Caringpotato Yes! I can't imagine skipping those in the garden now!
@AffyAvo You have inspired me to plant some!
@SunshineCat I hope they work well for you too!
@AffyAvo The one thing i can grow is potatoes, I have them in shopping bags filled with soil, or containers, or post, the one place they don't grow is in the earth 😳 I am wondering why? Any ideas?
