You can plant them in a small trash can and as they grow just put more potting soil on them. when they grow some more just keep adding soil and pretty soon you are going to have a can full of taters. Be sure to drill drainage holes in that Trashcan too.
Charleen's walks in the woods
Yes that works because you only put a small amount in to start and they grow up and the taters down so you add more soil as needed by the end of the season the can is full and there is a bushel bag of taters!!
I see I'm not the only one who never sleeps! I want to try the taters in a trash can this year. We'll see. I don't seem to have enough time for my life. Ever have that problem? 6 weeks until I can plant outside without danger of frost. Do I have my seeds started? NO Do I have last years old stuff cleaned up? NO Do I have my lasagna beds built? NO Have I transplanted my roses, hydrangeas. NO What kind of gardener am I? I think I'm a Dave's gardener. LOL
Warm this weekend..... maybe just maybe! LOL
Still walking with you RRM. Love your cedar tree. I have a small one someone must have planted when it was very small. It's in an odd place. My mom hid treasures in an old cedar tree when she was a little girl on the family farm. We went and found them one summer. Pretty cool.
Doing a drive by hug. Mojitos for everyone. Internet still not working on my computer and this cell phone only has a tiny screen so will be back a s a p. Took 4 hours to clear almost 400 emails so I'm definately waiting for the computer. Be good everyone.
