Does anyone here have a garden or try to grow there own food? And what do you plant. I just tried something new for me I put 42 potato plants in our small green house. We had a bag going to seed so I though I would try to plant them in pots and put them in the greenhouse for a few weeks then in the garden But I'm not sure if this will work with potatos.

Texas is in a drought big time, we had something like 89 days of 100+ degrees. Everything is burning up, I water my elephant ears like crazy yet they are slowly frying away. Last year we had a garden and did we have the cucumbers?.I learned to fry them and dang if they don't taste like fried squash. But it rained last year. You poor guys with too much water, I wish we could do some trading...

Gardening is fun and it's constructive, I really liked raising those plants they grew like weeds, lol. But seriously I really do come to like the hobby, it's relaxing. Thumbs up on the question.

Yes JDB, I have a garden every year. Sounds great, You'll get alot of potatos, When the weather gets better transplant them into the ground or put about 5 each in garbage cans (in the bottom foot or so) that drain well then keep filling it with more dirt as they grow (leaving about the top 5 stems of leaves), by summers end you just tip a can full of potatos out instead of having to dig them. Use manure (make sure it's not hot) not store bought fertilizer but if you have a green house I'm sure your trying probably tring to get away from all the poisons. Potatos like water. Good Luck
