I cut the eyes out for planting ,but I've since learned I may not have left enough potatoe on for survival ,EEKS !
The Flores family came over for their AG Class
The boys rode the lawnmower wagon to get shovel and hoes and uhoh they ran out of gas but all the laughter of them struggling to push it back under our trees was so worth the trouble ;)Then they all got down to business.

Oh my goodness, you're planting potatoes already! I'm envious. Looks like you have a fantastic team of helpers too.
ReplyDeleteThank You we had a Great Team but this was my first time Planting not sure what to expect on how they grow.My dad laughed when I told him the kids used spoons to dig the whole he said "hun ya might have needed a shovel for that progect "OOPPS !mmm I kinda forgot the lesson from the store plant 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart . I will make sure I mound a hill of dirt on them when they start Growing.I know Green Potatoes are Poisonous so I'll be on the Look out :)
