Potato Leaves Coming Up

Published on 05/04/2009

I planted my potatoes, what, about two weeks ago. I didn't really have any idea when to expect any green things to pop up from beneath the soil or what they would look like when they did. A couple of days ago I was looking at the bed and noticed a few little tiny leaves. I wasn't sure if they were weeds or if they were coming from the potatoes, so I left them alone. This morning I went out again to check them out and they had gotten much bigger and more like real leaves. I was pretty excited. Here are a few pictures I took of them. I think the darker colored ones are from the all-blue variety that Hillary gave me, and the others are either from a yellow potato she also gave me, or from the red ones that I got from People's. Woohoo! I really enjoy this gardening stuff.
