Zones 8-9 Spr/Sum 2011 Veggie Gardening is UNDERWAY- Pt lI
We have potatoes growing in our compost pile, too. LOL We're going to leave them and see what happens.
My non-volunteer potatoes are up and looking good. Im growing one of those samplers from Lowes. 6 each of red, white and russet. My favorite is red but I'll eat the others too.

Thanks, TRock! I'll be looking for a pictorial, "How to"! I just potted up ONE more tomato seedling last evening: grand total of TWO!
I post a couple pic over here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1160825/#new
Check out my volunteer potatoes in the compost pile!
Sorry guys I have been absent for quite a while, it has been a crazy year for my family, we got sick in my house and the bug lingered for about 3 months ( I guess that is what happens when you have little ones) then since I am pregnant and expecting number 3 the flu just knocked me down and I could not do a lot of gardening chores at all. Thank God my garden did O.K, we still got tons of things like lettuce, collard greens, spinach, mustard greens etc....
My DH finally installed my last 2 raise beds where the tomatoes are going to be and yesterday with the help of my little girl I planted a whole raise bed full of maters, I still have peppers and eggplants to plant out and I do have a new batch of Roma tomatoes that I can plant out as well in a few weeks as soon as they get a little bigger, this time I am going to try to double my tomato patch and plant 2 whole raise beds instead of just one.
I have converted two diff couples and friends already into planting their own veggies, they have already started their own raise beds as well, they loved the veggies that I was growing and so now they are doing their own.
Today I will be cleaning the herb bed and start planting some of my herbs, you can't never have too many. Also I have a few plants that I started inside that are the purple artichoke and can't wait to plant them out and see how they do, artichokes are just so expensive here in the US that I thought it would be worth trying.
O.K I have a lot to catch up and read, the baby is due beginning of May so we are getting very excited around here.
Carminator1,
Does the name "Laura Ingalls" ring a bell?

Isn't it amazing what will grow from just a tiny bit of potato in the compost pile? I found a sprout in the pile the other day that was growing from just a small piece of potato peeling.
