Potato Planting is upon us!

Potato Planting 2016!

For weeks we had been chitting potatoes! This meant that while potatoes rested in Kahikatea they started to grow little nodules. 

The first week of September is potato planting week! We headed out to the garden with Mr. Rob and listened to how to grow the best potatoes! 

Mr Rob dug some rows for us and we dropped a potato in each, 
making sure that they were about a hand apart AND chits up so that they don't grow sideways. 
Once we had all put our potatoes in the ground Mr. Rob covered them in a mound like shape. This helps them grow, according to Mr. Rob. 

It's awesome getting out into the garden with Mr. Rob! We're super lucky to have the garden and him around to give us awesome life skills!
