Time to plant potatoes

In my community, it's time to plant potatoes. Potatoes are especially easy to grow in containers and I've passed along instructions to a couple of my friends. Be sure to get good seed potatoes and try different varieties.

Potatoes like cool weather, so it's a good idea to get them in the ground early so that they produce before the hot summer gets here! Potatoes are native to South America and are vital to the people in the Andes. There are thousands of varieties! Check out the photo and information here:
