This week we are also starting to grow our own potatoes as part of a national ‘Grow Your Own Potatoes’ initiative.
We will be putting seed potatoes into empty egg boxes and sitting them on a window ledge for a few weeks. This is called ‘chitting’ and allows the sprouts to harden.
There will also be a Potato Cam at http://potatoesforschools.org.uk/ where you can see how the ‘experts’ are getting on.
If anyone else is taking part in ‘Grow Your Own Potatoes’ we’d love to hear how you are getting on.
Does anyone grow their own vegetables at home?
