We have another video with us planting the potatoes… also you can see progress with our most recent update videos. 😉 Since this is our first year doing potatoes we have no idea the outcome. We should know soon.

Yeah, i might have to stick to tires if I decide to do potatoes next year… I’m not handy enough to make something like that. 😛 but if i ever find myself a carpenter friend I’ll have to show them this video and put them to work.
