Its gonna be a quick post , Just took a Potato , Dug a bit of soil in the pot say an inch and dumped the little man into it .
Just to see his heads , if you know what i mean .
Its been 4 days since i did this - just to keep a track noting down this in ma blog ..Will post a pic soon !
A quick Google to this link http://www.savvyhousekeeping.com/how-to-plant-potatoes/ and i realized i'm doing something wrong , same as what the blogger has done , gonna see if i can pull it out and replant !
Hoping its gonna cope ! laughing loud when i wrote the statement ! Don't know why , thinking of Dh ..
Ok as usual will keep you updated !
Update :
Yesterday , pulled it out carefully , see this is how it looks , its having a lot of roots already .
You can see the Heads/Eyes popping up , So divided this in to 2 and re-potted it into 2 different pots , gonna see if its gonna work .
Update : March 02 -2014
So excited to see the leaves coming up , yahoo looks like the transplant was successful .Both the pot have the leaves popping up today , waving a Hi ! They look so Delicate and vulnerable to the sun's heat , But natures will take care , haven't given any protection ,let see how this goes.
Update :March 09 -2014
My little man seems to be growing strong . Have added a handful of compost to the pot .
See how he looks , So green and Lively .Need ideas how to add a fence or a grill to add more when he grows ! Thinking ...
Update :March 25 -2014
Both are growing super strong until now , hilling them up with soil .
I can see some buds coming up as well, so its a good indicator that the tubers are forming .
The experts say once its flowered , wait for 2 week and check .Then tip the upper portion off and leave it in the dry soil for a week to ensure the skin is kept intact . Hmm lot of work you see , its worth growing your own plants , you see how they grow and all the effort you have put in , and yeah not to mention food gonna taste double tasty and i'm sure you wont think about wasting any food !
Update :April 10 -2014
Ok so i pulled out one of the plants in the pots to check , was disappointed to see nothing tuned up , just roots .Have kept the other one , the leaves are dieing down , but i have no hope . May be i didn't hill up much and also the pot might be small , But lets see .
