The Potato Project - Part 2 - Planting!

After Spring break we came back to find that our potatoes were sprouting eyes! It was time to plant the potatoes.

Checking out the potatoes!

We are planting them in burlap sacks. This way we can add more soil as the plants grow and we unroll the sack, giving us a bigger harvest.

It took lots of helpers to fill the sack even just 6 inches deep.

Everyone pitched in for a little while or for the whole time.

We covered the potatoes with soil.

After choosing a sunny corner of the yard we watered the potatoes very well!

Lots of watering help was given. 

Soon we will check up and see how our potatoes have grown!
