Can you believe I live in Idaho and have yet to grow my own potatoes? Seems almost blasphemous! Lol! We actually just moved here about 3 yrs ago and have been busy building a home and putting up proper fencing. (As beautiful as deer are, they're quite the garden pests up here!)
In addition to the dynamic adaptation of plants, we, as gardeners and stewards of the earth, can help increase the nutrient density of the plants around us by tending to the soil. We are currently working on making awesome compost in just 18 days! We're about half way through so I'm going to be writing a post about it soon. It's been awesome to witness the transformation!
Looks like you've got a good little helper there. Madeline is a doll!
