    Trying my hand at potatoes this year. I've never done it before. I used the method of burying them as they get taller. I'd say they're coming along nicely.

    Looks like they will be a success story. Makes for a nice vegetative planter also:stew1:

    Oh yes, they are coming along nicely! There are few pleasures as great as having new potatoes boiled and dressed with a bit of butter and salt. Enjoy!

    Northerner, I'm impressed. For a first trial, they look very good to me.
    That sure is cute measuring post you have there. :)

    We would all be blessed to have a partner in crime like her. A great way for her to learn gardening too.
