Re: Ithaca Gro: That is AWESOME! I love it! Thank you! I’m going to print it out and tack it on his stall so he knows his efforts are appreciated, LOL! :)

Re: Potatoes: I don’t think you have to wait for them to sprout, but look for little ‘indents’ where the eyes will eventually form and cut them up accordingly. I usually leave 2-3 eyes on each piece.

Also, I’m a Lazy Tater Farmer - I bought bags of seed potatoes probably two months ahead of when I actually got them in the ground, so they had PLENTY of sprouts.

I am a total, ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ gardener, sometimes!

Thanks again! So creative! :)

After I mentioned it in an earlier post I kept thinking about it. So I had some time in between working today and it did not take long. You do such a great job of running these threads and are always posting graphics to give us a smile, so this was a way to say Thanks! Appreciate the advice on the potatoes. I thought I could just plant them but wanted to be sure. Getting too old to dig them out of the ground. This way I can just tip the pot over in the fall.
