I am going to plant some potatoes. I have been on the fence on this one for a couple years trying to weigh the pros and cons. Being they were cheap enough in bulk bags at the store. I think I will go with some lessor known varieties and share with my neighbors. That does it .. I am going to plant some potatoes.

Year round they would go out and get enough to eat, and leave the rest. Before we had them in the shady compost pile, and now I'm trying this in the front flower bed this year.

I like vegetable gardening, being a vegetarian myself... one of the reasons I can't wait to have my own house at some point. hey, very nice site you have here and an excellent post….

I am screaming because I thought about this way back in December. I dutifully got some red potatoes which I love and had them double paper bagged near the heater. They sprouted quite well. I went to Home Depot last week, got a large pot and organic soil and was ready to plant. Got home and looked for my potatoes (I had 2) only to find out that the M-I-L had thrown them out on Thursday! Needless to say, I was PISSED OFF. Her excuse? Oh they looked old. Mind you, they were nowhere near the other potatoes and I had explicitly told everyone what I wanted to do. So mad! Anyway I love your idea and I watched many Youtube videos about this subject. Arrrrgggghhhhh. I am screaming because I thought about this way back in December.
