Planting Potatoes
Planting potatoes can be very rewarding and fun for people with or without kids. Not only do you get to plant another crop, but then the kid in you gets to dig in the dirt to find the buried "treasure". I planted my potatoes in a five gallon bucket in my driveway. It makes it very easy to harvest this way as the soil is very easy to break apart and retrieve the potatoes. Use the links below to order the necessary items to start your own potato plants. Happy potato planting!

UPDATE - Starting Seed Indoors
This is a quick update showing the growth after only four days. The seed starting kit does a great job in starting the seeds very quickly. I have put a few links below where you can purchase a seed starting green house of you very own and some of the things that I am growing. I use mine all the time for starting seeds and then plant the seedlings outside. Happy seeding!

Starting Seed Indoors
To get a jump on the growing season, you can start your seeds indoors. In this video I will show you how to start seeds in a Jiffy Seed Starter Greenhouse. I will be planting some Rainbow Blend Cherry Tomatoes and in a couple of weeks I will be planting them outside. With a little bit of potting soil and seed starting mix you can get a good jump on the growing season. The minimal investment can yield bountiful results. Watch the video and see how easy it can be to start your own peat pot seedlings. Happy seeding!
