Have you ever seen the video of using a black trash bag to grow potatoes? Google it - really looks interesting

Finally cooling off..raining all day. The redbuds are the most beautiful I can remember.
My brussel sprouts are producing in the garden. Did not get frost kill.
Onion and garlic have grown through the winter.
Got summer clothes out, but will probably need winter next week.

Planned on mowing yesterday and the rain started....Guess it will be ready to bail by the time we get to it.

I tried growing in a trash can. That was a waste of time, because the plant did, indeed, grow up to be nice and healthy, but the potatoes were down around the bottom of the barrel and none grew above that. HOWEVER, I might give the black trash bags a try. I could keep the dirt in in shallow - maybe 12”. I’ll bet it works. I might give it a try. I’ll let you know if I do! :-)

I am using my black fabric grow bags for the 3rd year now. So far, great luck.
