When my mom was here during the summer, she was burying cut up vegetables, fruit peels etc in the little plot of soil in the backyard to nurture the soil.
A couple of months ago, I notice a plant growing on the soil. I could not figure out what kind of plant it was, so I just left it to grow by itself.
The plant kept growing and growing and became a huge bush. The soil underneath the plant was bulging and I suspected that something was growing under there. So, the other day, I decided to dig it out to see what it was.
To my surprise, I found potatoes under the roots! It was a potato plant. Now, I have potatoes, quite a few of them. The skin is so thin that I accidently scrapped the skin off some of the potatoes with my shovel.
I'm so pumped. This has given me the motivation to plant more vegetable next spring/summer.
Now....what can I cook with all these potatoes......

Good for you girl! In time all your vegs will be home grown no?
june - if I clear 2 of the other big bushes, I would have lots of space for veg growing.
