Potatoes
Unfortunately, potatoes are one of the "Dirty Dozen". In February, here in the Deep South, I plant several pounds in my garden. For those of you who do not have a garden, :( , I found this delightful "How To" video from the editor of The Old Farmer's Almanac. I hope you try it. Check planting times in your area. What I like about this method is the opportunity to continually add soil; the more layers you add, the more potatoes the tubers produce. That is why this abundant vertical space will give you a bountiful harvest. Do it; you will discover the difference. The poison stuff you buy in the grocery store is so far removed from home grown and this method, thanks to Farmer's Almanc, is so easy it seems. Be sure to use good soil; the potatoes are inexpensive; spend your money on the soil or better yet, use your compost.
We need to be mindful of what we eat.
