POTATO GROWING

We are going to grow our own potatoes in the garden this summer. We got some free seed potatoes from the Potato Council through the post. First of all, we had to CHIT them. These means putting them in a place where there is lots of light so they can sprout some shoots. We left them for about three weeks to do this and then we planted them in compost inside some black bags. I wonder how many pototoes will grow. Here is a photo of me chitting the potatoes.

The potatoes are growing really well. It took them about three weeks to get this big.

Here I am harvesting the potatoes in June. They tasted delicious!
