Thank you greeneyes for getting us together. If I can move
Hubby I’m going to plant some fingerling potatoes and 1
sweet potato that sprouted. I’ve asked him to move the
pot for the potatoes, nearer the garage, so as soon as the
spirit moves him, I’ll put the little things in the ground.
Tomorrow is community garden day. I have two HUGE tires
out there. I’m going to line them with cardboard and news
paper along the bottom and sides, fill it with twigs, compost, twigs, compost and soil, the plant some carrots and turnip seeds. I don’t know what else, yet.

I haven’t yet tried planting potatoes in pots. I’ll be interested to hear how yours turn out. How does the community garden stuff work in your area? Is it a city or county thing? What kind of rules do you have?

I've been breaking off sprouts from a sweet potato, and stuck them in a jar of water. They're making lots of roots.
