BECAUSE I’M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!! part 2: Potatoes!
I planted some old shrivelled potatoes in various spots around the garden a month or two ago. I wasn’t really expecting much. I’m not very good at gardening, as you may have guessed, and some of them did turn green which means they’re poisonous and absolutely should not be eaten. However, I went digging in the second spot where I’d planted some of them, and what did I find?
Yes! Actual, presumably edible potatoes!
Honest to god it was a beautiful sight. So… I put them back in the ground again, where they will I assume sprout more ‘tato? Or that’s what the Internet tells me.
Meanwhile…
I planted the tomato plants around the back garden. Here’s one of them, I think it’s doing okay (it’s still green anyway)
Another one, not so much…
And the third one, has, uh, gone. Where it’s gone I couldn’t tell you. Maybe the epic rain we’ve had over the past few days killed it off completely? I have no idea.
As for the spring onions, things went very wrong with the spring onions. I suppose I should admit to it. Somehow it never occured to me to, you know, CHANGE THE WATER ON THE REGULAR and they rotted. I moved one one day and there was this appalling stench that stunk out the whole house. Kinda awkward. So here I go again:
Same vase, different onion. (And, um, different water, OBVIOUSLY.) So we’ll see how that goes. My gosh I am so pleased about the potatoes though.
