Sandra – interesting about the potatoes! Do you remember what variety they are? I found early varieties were not as important to hill since they would be done soon and not keep growing but later varieties give you lots more yield by hilling. I’m so glad the bread came out great!

Great website, I am really enjoying it and today I am baking your presoaked 100% WW freshly ground flour given to me (still warm in the bag) by a friend. It has bubbled up beautifully overnight and smells wonderful. My husband and my 12 year old son planted a potato plant in a tire this spring. So far they’ve added two more tires and soil over top with only one more tire to go. We’ve read that by stacking 4 tires over one plant as it grows, that plant can yield 60 lbs of fresh potatoes. We have other potato plants growing in the usual row manner alongside this tire planter and you would not believe it but the tire plant is three times the height of the others, and they were all planted the same day! I will look forward to more of your website (I am from Canada, living on the Prairie in a city.

What a cool thing to try. I started 7 gunny sacks and have sprouts in each…now, I read, that since the sprouts are showing about the dirt, I will need to add more soil/compost which I will now do. I am having such fun with the project. I call it my ” Gunny Sack Farm”.
