The Kuroda carrot seeds that I planted are really starting to sprout and grow now. I am really looking forward to these carrots. I haven’t ever tried them but in the videos I have watched they look really nice and everyone says they are really tasty. I think that I will be able to move…
The lettuce and tomato grow bags that I moved outside are doing very well for the most part. Most of the plants have done very well with the exception of a few of the lettuce plants that died once they were moved outside. The tomato plants have all survived and are continuing to grow at…
5 Gallon Bucket Potatoes #1 5 Gallon Bucket Potatoes #2 5 Gallon Bucket Potatoes #3
This is just an update on the second round of 5 gallon bucket potatoes that I planted on 3-15-2020. For this batch of potatoes I took my seed potatoes and cut them into pieces, then let them cure for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t sure how these would turn out because I had let…
