Food Security


My sister in California is blessed with fertile soil. They have started a vegetable garden in recent years and get lots of advice from experienced neighbours. In what seemed like no time at all, she sent a photo of these potatoes that she said were produced from one seed. Isn't that fantastic?

  2. They look great and I'm sure they taste even better. Nothing like home grown potatoes. Hugs, Valerie

  7. Wonderful! My seed potatoes were actually shipped this morning from P.E.I.!! Last year I think I planted about 10 seed potatoes and got about 50 from them. This year I'm tripling up! :) I have some strawberry plants on the way too. Alex and I have noticed how poorly we digest the grocery store produce now and we're trying our best to grow everything at home now. If not, we look for organic, thought it's so pricey!

  8. I found you via your comment on Low Carb Diabetic. How nice that you sister was so successful with these potatoes. I just paid a big price for a bag from the grocery store.
    Have a nice day.
