Welcome back readers! This edition is about my garden potatoes that are growing in a mesh bag.  They are doing very well I might add! I just cannot wait for potato harvest time. Freshly boiled potatoes fresh out of the garden make a meal in itself pretty much. (Yes, I grew up in garden country)

What other containers have you grown potatoes in? Please feel free to leave your comments below.

Potatoes take time to grow obviously. But if you are patient and can wait a few weeks,  you will be in potato heaven!

Here is what I started out with:

Buried potatoes in a cheap mesh bag. Bag was $5 by the way.  Then all of a sudden they started growing!

Watering them with Miracle Grow and Epsom salt is working wonders. I also water them very well every 2 to 3 days.

Having fun gardening is one joy in this world that I would not want to give up.  My kids help me as well.  The oldest especially liked tossing in more dirt and moving it around.  Mainly because it was messy and that’s what she likes lol

Post pictures of your garden and any tips that you would like to share.

Have fun!
