Last weekend, I went to check on my little veggie patch and, no joke, I found two potatoes hiding under one plant. I was so pumped, I almost dropped my trowel. Growing potatoes always felt like a mystery to me, but I realized if you just keep the soil loose and toss on a bit more dirt as the plants grow, they really do their thing. I used an old laundry basket for this batch, and it worked way better than I expected. The drainage was perfect, and harvesting was a breeze—just tipped it over and there they were. Seeing those potatoes made all the watering and waiting totally worth it. If you haven’t tried growing your own, you’re missing out on some serious backyard treasure hunts. #gardening #potatoes #urbanfarming
