A few days ago I noticed that one of my bags of potatoes (half filled only) was dead and dry. I might have overfed or over watered it, but I did something that caused it to die. So, I emptied the bag to see if there were any potatoes inside and to my surprise, I found a couple handfuls of baby potatoes. This bag was my experiment bag. I had filled it with steer manure, grass clippings and a little soil to see if the potatoes would form and I am happy to say, they did! Now, if only I hadn't done something wrong in caring for the plants, I may have gotten quite a nice harvest.
Well, I took the baby potatoes and stored most of them in a cool cabinet so I can plant them in the fall for a fall crop. I did cook a couple of the potatoes along with some carrots and garlic from the garden. I roasted it in the oven and after about 20 minutes, I had the most yummiest potatoes I have ever eaten. They were super buttery and so tender.
I've never had a potato so delicious!I am really happy that these potatoes are this delicious as I picked up the tubers from my local Wal-Mart just to give potatoes a shot. Now, if my other bag and bucket produce nicely, I will save some of them for seeds and keep planting them in bags/bucket. I don't have room to plant them in the ground. I may get a bigger container for them next season.

Homegrown potatos are the best! Cant wait till mine are ready! Im growing red and purple ones!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to "test the waters" this year to see if I can grow them in containers... If all goes well this year, then I will def try more varieties next year. :)
