Potato Barrels

We've started playing in the dirt again! Debbie has started 128 pots of seeds in the house. Steven has been buying toys to plow the fields. And we took the advice of Mother Earth News and started 2 Potato Barrels. http://www.motherearthnews.com/do-it-yourself/no-space-potato-barrel-ze0z11zkon.aspx We bought a couple plastic garbage cans at our local big box hardware store, drilled some holes in the bottom for drainage, and put down a layer of soil. Then we added seed potatoes (Yukon Gold, Red Kennebec, and something purple and exotic), and another layer of dirt. We'll let you know how this goes!
