Condo gardening

Our container 'garden' is thriving. The basil is bountiful, the mesclun magnificent.

Potatoes!

This spring on a whim, I planted a few sprouted potatoes from our pantry. I gave them a 90% chance of being immediately consumed by the giant squirrel-cats that scavenge our yard. When some vaguely potato-like leaves started growing a month later, I crossed my fingers that my experiment had worked. Finally, yesterday Spencer convinced my to pull up a plant to see if it really was potatoes.

Behold, the first potato!


Our lease on our current apartment ends at the end of June. I'm hoping the rest of the potatoes can grow a little bit more before then!
