Potatoes in a Bucket

I started out planting my potatoes in the ground. Unfortunately, I noticed that we have a drainage problem and way too much rain this spring and my potatoes never came up.

Ye of Little Faith – My Garden Experiment

In all of my research with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I have noticed that most try to eat better and healthier. I would love to purchase all organic fruits and vegetables but from a price standpoint, I don’t feel that is practical. I decided that since I live in Zone 6, have a backyard with plenty of ...
