Planting Potatoes

We planted the potatoes today. We had some potatoes from the cupboard that had majorly spouted, so I tried planting those along with the Yukon Gold seed potatoes I mail-ordered.

We decided to do an experiment. We planted the potatoes east to west so that 1 row is completely in the sun and 1 row is mostly in the shade. It gets so hot here in the summer that I thought maybe the shade would be good for them. We shall see...

I wanted to take pictures of the progress of the tomatoes along their way. To the right is the tomato I planted on February 4th. I transplanted it into this 6 inch pot a few weeks ago, fertilized it, and look at how awesome it looks! This one will feed us many many!
