Digging for some POTATOES!

Potatoes and plants going to the decomposing bin.

POTATOES!!!! Today we are digging for potatoes, we got lots of them. Some of the kids got giant 5 inch potatoes. But they were baby potatoes. Some people got this part right at the bottom of the roots, it was all wet and gross. The teachers told us that part was the original potato. The potatoes need to be planted almost on the top of the dirt. Then after that you stack dirt up one foot on the seed and wait tell it is done growing. When the plant is done growing you pull those big, juicy, potatoes out of the ground. We also had to put the remaining part of the plant into the compost bin, there were also so pretty gross things in there. When we were done i asked the teacher if we could eat the potatoes, but she said no. >:()
