Weird Potatoes

Just an update on my Potato Tire Experiment:

I let the potatoes tops in the first tire grow to about 8 inches, then added a tire and more dirt.

My son and I planted the next few seed potatoes and watered it really well.

It is really too late to expect much more than this. It just stayed too cold too long this Spring, and has warmed up really quick.
But we are hopeful that we’ll get two tires worth of red potatoes.

Potatoes are so weird.
