yum fresg taters in a week!
HA!! Steve In Feb. I save all the feed bags from my Chickens in Feb some of my potatoes started to grow so I rolled the bags down in half, put about 10+ inches of compost in and planted my spuds. watered once a week and placed them by the window in the basement. when they started to grow more vigorously and the weather was nice I had my husband carry the bags about 12 out and put them on the wall by my stairs. I had recently had surgery so I couldn't carry them myself. I had great potato plants before the frost was gone! we (DH) carried the bags back into the basement every evening before the weather started to cool down. The plants are blooming now and I will be able to harvest I keep putting it off until the store bought spuds are used up!!! However I planted 3 new bags of Yukon Gold yesterday evening!!! and I have several bags that I continue to plant I average 2 bags a week and plan to have enough Yukon, Blue, and REd potatoes for the winter!!!digitS' said:The1honeycomb, you really should tell folks again about how you started those potatoes in your basement.
And, how you talk your husband into carrying out the bags on every nice day thru late winter!

digitS' said:That just seems like such a good idea, 1honeycomb! Kind of bags of spuds held in reserve.
The only thing is that packing around. Compost is lighter than dirt, at least.
I think you should have DH carrying them around the yard a little during the summer, tho'. You know - just to keep him in shape.
