He or she always slithers away when I catch a glimpse. But I finally got a good picture!

That makes sense because I actually rolled the sides down for the ones in the bag and then as they grew I rolled the bag back up and filled with dirt. So I'll likely just use the bags as the main source and then keep experimenting with other types

I have plenty of boxes so I will try this with a few

That is brilliant!! But Do they deteriorate before the potatoes are ready?

So the bag ones are doing great the bucket ones not so good

A few of the little bulbils I tester planted started to grow so I will definitely be planting a bunch in the fall once we get the front bed finished. I will definitely plant Later in the fall this time. Do I dig them up in the spring and replant in fall or just let them keep going in ground...

I need to figure something else out because I'm out of bags and I was gifted a bunch of seed potatoes!! We can always use more potatoes LOL

I have 2 crab apples on my property I don't need anymore 🤣

I also saw a video where someone used old Chicken Feed bags. These weren't terribly expensive and they have a little side hatch to harvest potatoes without pulling the whole plant. The 5 gallon bucket was a last minute tester since I only had 2 little seed potatoes left and wanted to test both...

I am definitely very scared of pruning it LOL I didn't know I needed to prune it while it's still so small. We usually still have snow in feb/march I'll look unto when pruning is best around here. I did see 1 sucker on the base this year!

Thank you! I'll keep an eye on that!

So this is my first year trying to grow potatoes. I did a layer let them grow added more dirt and now they look like this should i add more dirt? I have a ton more potato seeds that were gifted to us and I want to get it right LOL

I'll probably need to prune this fall. Does anyone have any good resources for pruning apple trees?

We planted this Red delicious Apple tree in August 2020. This is the first year it blossomed. Is it a good sign for apples? Yes we have other Apple trees around.

I discussed it with my husband and I think we are going to put a raised bed specifically for the garlic in the front yard which is much drier. That way it can be on it's own for how ever long they need to be. Our backyard is stopped and tends to get really wet which was why I originally wanted...

Thank you so much for all the info and help. I don't mind trying again. This was my first go at growing garlic and I honestly wasn't sure how it would go I didn't expect it not to grow at all 🤣 But we'll try again and I'll be choosing another area lol. I'll keep this bed for seasonal things...

I will try a few this weekend and see how it goes. I feel blessed by the kindness. This isn't the first time he has given us gardening things. We give him eggs all the time. He has a garden I will be giving him some of my extra tomato plants.

A Friend of my husband's just gave us all these!! He was chatting with him how our garlic didn't grow and he said "here take this!"

I was worried when we had the warm up in November theybstarted to grow then we had the freeze out. I read when that happens I might kill the bulb. I will take a look at the suggested reads. Thanks! I'm bummed but maybe next year I'll try a ground level bed instead of the raised up one. I put...

None of my garlic grew 😭
