Easter was a terrific day for planting tubers

 Easter morning was full of sunshine and the soil was slightly muddy but workable. We decided to take the morning to plant potatoes. We planted over 100 potatoes in just a few hours. Each "seed" potato is supposed to produce about 5-8 potatoes in about 90-120 days, so we are hopefully going to have 500+ potatoes. The process of growing potatoes is different than most plants. As the plant sends up its taproots, we will mound the dirt up higher and higher around each plant. In each of those mounds, that's where the potato will grow.
