Things are progressing. Hilling inside the buckets and barrels is going well, and we are about to see the first flowers arrive. One more barrel section to add.

Fellow Sparks resident here. Did you run into any issues with the summer temperature?

@myclem6674 Not so far as I can tell. Check out Potatoes in a bucket 8 to see a recap of the whole thing, I've already got two buckets planted and growing this year. I have been putting them in the garage at night. I am hoping for a big garden year all the way around. Good luck.

@Ladyhawkwright Good luck to you. I saw the seed potatoes at the Walmart earlier this week, and it lit a fire under me. I'd love to know the results you get.

WOW, potatoes have a beutiful plant. You don't grow anything else.  What are you going to do with all those potatoes.

@alz123alz See Rob's Raised Beds 11. My broccoli heads are about 2-3 inches across. I am waiting for a head to be one dinners worth before I cut it. That video will also show the other things I am at least trying to grow.

Never call it dirt - it's "soil". From a master gardener in Wisconsin.

I put two seed potatoes in each five gallon bucket. Each potato had probably two eyes. All potatoes from 2009 were Kennebec white potatoes. This is a late season type. This year I have started with Red Norland as an early crop and I have only put one seed potato per bucket. I will do Kennebec in barrels for a late crop and I will use four seed potatoes per barrel this year.
