This will be my first time ever growing potatoes.</p> <p>We went against the conventional wisdom and planted store-bought organic potatoes. They sprouted just fine, because I stored them poorly: plastic bag, room temperature.</p> <p>So, I set them out indoors with plenty of light and they grew some green tips. I wanted to plant them over a week ago, but I procrastinated. It rained all week, so I’m glad that I waited. Now the ground is moist but not soggy.</p> <p>I’ve heard fresh potatoes are very tasty. I can’t even imagine, but I am looking forward to it.</p>http://www.niaree.com/post/349690842http://www.niaree.com/post/349690842Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:22:39 -0800potatoespotatogardenjaredphotoiphone<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwdhbqOYt01qauk0wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Just put 8 cups in the freezer and I’ve hardly made a dent.
