Potato harvest is excellent this year! My tomatoes are okay, but I have not gotten as many as id like. Feel free to laugh with me on my pathetic corn lol

gardening is so legit. Learning more with each season :)

Im always planting potatoes though. Its beyond easy, and I absolutey enjoy the act of digging for the spuds. I was sad I had no more to dig!

Potatoes are! I think, yes! Everytime Ive grown potatoes, I just take some eyed out ones I legit get from the store. They just, grow.

You cut the potato so one (or two) eye is on each piece, and plant it in the ground with the eye facing up. They just grow. I took two potatoes, and made 8 plants.

I "mound" my potatoes once, about halfway through the season. you just push dirt up around the stalk of the plant. Then, when the leaves of the are mostly dead, pull it, and dig up the spuds!

I struggle with plenty in my garden. Not potatoes. Ive been told the soil in my state is great for potatoes naturally, so maybe thats why it is so easy for me, but yeah, very simple. :)
