Have you ever wondered how potatoes still manage to look fresh during the dry season, even when many plants have withered already due to excruciating weather conditions?
This post will do a little bit of justice to that, and in the end, you might consider planting this as well.
A few days back I was watching a short drama online and it was all about a short famine in a land and how people resorted to potatoes as a way out even though people of that land had never eaten them before they were able to save themselves from starving because they resorted to planting potatoes.
This looks like a story for lots of people who watched but for a farmer like me, it just went on to signify the strength one potato plant has over so many other crops.
You might be wondering from my pictures if the dry grasses are a result of herbicide but that's not true at all, no herbicide was applied to those grasses.
But look at the potatoes on the same land getting the same amount of nutrients and water, yet it is looking like the direct opposite of those grasses possessing fresh, broad, and green leaves showing that it is doing fine irrespective of the conditions right now.
I know there are a lot of scientific explanations as to why this crop is doing so well when it shouldn't have but I have to say that it is one thing that definitely makes it special to me other than the sweet taste that it has.
The fact that it survives the drought is one thing that makes it easy to plant ot the next year cause the way it is planted is by using the vines which have to be fresh obviously but then how do you keep the plant fresh throughout the dry season up until the next planting season?
