These are the first veggies I planted for #growfoodnotlawns Canada, 2019
Potatoes. Possibly the easiest thing there is to grow, and to get the seed from. Starting in the fall, whenever I have potatoes getting the little eyes, I move them into their own bags in a dark cupboard. By spring this is what I have: Free Potato seeds.
They grow pretty well in their dark little corner of the house for the winter, don't they?
Fucking thing is trying to grow leaves LOL!
Once you get rid of that grass you'll be happy. Dig hole, put in potato seed, cover and mound with dirt. No matter how deep I've dug, how shallow, how much or how little water, where I dug...I have always gotten a potato harvest. Sure, some were pretty small, yet these things are totally indestructible, even if you have a black thumb.
If you want to get really fancy, once the leaves start growing out of your mound, you can pile more dirt onto them to encourage the plant to grow more potatoes.
Before Potatoes
And After
Lettuce Time!
Here is the bed Before I did Spring Cleanup.
And Now
In amongst the oregano, lily and lupin are lettuce seeds of many varieties. I also have lettuce growing wild on the west part of the lawn, just seeded itself from last year...
#foodisfree ~ It just needs a little help to get going.
