Can you use store bought potato’s as seed potato’s? Yes, but! The reds were bought as organic potato’s in the store so they should not have been sprayed. They sprout and are now planted in grow bags. Cost $1/l compare to seed $6/lb whites were your ordinary super market type and did not sprout. .

Winter gardening: zero temps and snow may stop outside gardening, however container gardening is going strong. Bunch onion and carrot plus lots of herbs on the window ledge. only problem is watering enough plus a little cold by the windows. Grow lights also needed. #vegetablegardening #gardening

to many apples? try apple butter. Apples in a slow cooker for 10 hrs with sugar, brown sugar but leave out the cloves. then a food mill to remove any skins. great on toast, waffles etc 🌱 #gardening

7lbs of po tat os (steve colbert pronunciation) from our grow bags. next year the soil will be more organic. The clay was too heavy. used straw for bulking but thing a compute type soil would be a better producer. not bad for the first year effort. 🌱 #vegetablegardening #gardening
