Our potatoes have grown, and are now taller than the tub! So it was time to hill them for the first time. To hill the potatoes you pile the soil up around the stems so that the potatoes can begin to form on the stems. We will hill them again in a few days so that the tubs are completely full of soil. It's exciting to see the changes in their growth from one day to the next day! Every day a pair of students goes to check on them to see how much they have grown and to give them a little drink. Soon it will be time to move them outside!
Have you ever grown potatoes in your own garden?
