The youngest two granddaughters and I have a fall project going that has turned into a Nanna project - they check on the plants and I do the work. We found an unused plastic/rubber 40 gallon trashcan; drilled some holes in the bottom; put in 6 inches of garden soil; and added a dozen potatoe eyes and covered with another couple of inches of soil.
The girls took off to Florida and Nanna has steadily added a little soil every 3 or 4 days. The plants are now close to the top of the garbage can and very healthy looking. The dirt is about half way up the inside of the can and more will be added today. Around the middle of December, the trash can will be turned upside down and should be full of potatoes. You will definitely get an update on this one.
The girls are very excited and have enjoyed seeing the rapid growth of the plants.
Hopefully we will all enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Happy Reading!
Belle
