We tried an experiment to see how well sweet potatoes grow in containers. Today we harvested them. Did we get a lot? Do we feel it worked good? Would we plant them in containers again? Well, you’ll just have to watch…
So, how are those potatoes that my mom planted in laundry baskets doing? Well… you’ll just have to watch! Oh, and we also show you all the other good stuff she has growing in containers.
Last year my mom planted potatoes in laundry baskets and I made a video about it. It became one of my more popular videos and we had lots of questions about it so now we are showing how to do it. It doesn’t take a big elaborate set up to grow your own food, all you need is a little ingenuity, a willingness to experiment, and most importantly, just have FUN doing it.
We’ve been busy all week at the fair, so I decided I’d give you a little update about what’s been going on. We’re going to be going out of town for one more night then we’ll be back on the homestead. We’ve got lots to tell you about and lots of stuff to be done!! We’ll be getting back to our normal routine here on the homestead so be sure to check back for upcoming videos.
My mom has a very beautiful container garden. This year she experimented with growing potatoes in laundry baskets. How did this experiment work out? Well… you’ll just have to watch and see….
Since we have such an abundance of eggs right now I decided to see if I could preserve them for this winter when our hens quit laying.
