Over Christmas break I planted a few potatoes in buckets, since they were sprouting plants. I had never done this before, but read online that it's possible to grow your own from store bought potatoes or organic seed potatoes.
I watered them once a day and added soil whenever they plants grew a few inches taller. In March I noticed that the leaves had died off and the branches remains. This was a sign that the spuds were ready. I dumped my buckets out and to my amazement, I had small potatoes!
It felt great to know that this is possible. I am now determined to grow more potatoes. :-)

Oooooh - good to know! I have minimal space in my garden but I have lots of buckets. I'm going to try this! Thanks!
