The kids planted them in Brownies one year. They stood a 20L bag of soil on it's end, cut a small opening and planted to potatoe seeds. Then watered normally. When it was time, the just cut open the bags and took out the little potatoes...they were so amazed. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

I don't buy a whole lot anymore that is NOT on sale. Last edited by JunieGirl; Mar 13th, 2008 at 05:26 AM. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
