All Eyes are Upon You (Part 2)

 

The next phase for the potatoes is planting.  The 'tools" you will need are: the potatoes that have dried for a day or two, a bulb planter, and the area tilled (with compost added) where the potatoes will be planted.

 

Using the bulb planter, you want to place it into the dirt deep enough to fill the enter shaft.  Do not remove the dirt from the bulb planter.

Next, place the potato at the bottom of the hole with the eyes pointing up (most of the flesh of the potato should be on the bottom.)

Push the dirt from the bulb planter back onto the potato, and press down lightly.

To plant the next potato, use 1 1/2 lengths of the bulb planter and repeat the above steps.  Part 3 of "All Eyes are Upon You" will show the plants as they make their way through the dirt.

A special thanks goes to Michael and Daddy for planting this years crop.  We sure are looking forward to fresh potatoes from the garden!

May God bless you and yours abundantly!
