The Vertical Garden Potato Experiment!

I was way late getting some of my seed potatoes planted! Since they were already chitting (sprouting) I decided that I could try this experiment. GROW VERTICALLY! Hey, who wouldn't love a Potato Tower?

This Greenstalk Garden system is nice because it is easily taken apart, planted and reassembled. The planter levels are very deep too so I thought it would make a great potato garden.

The potatoes don't love the heat so I'm trying this experiment up on the porch where it will get a cool breeze and some shade. Maybe, just maybe I can get a small harvest from this in the Fall. I'm not holding my breath really since Texas is blazing hot in July and August. However there is always a bit of pleasure in the experiment.

You can see that the plants are a bit leggy (tall and thin) since they aren't getting adequate light. It's really a balancing act at this point between light and temperatures.

I'll post more pics as this gardening experiment progresses!

Here's the video where I put this tower together. Kinda fun :)


Thank you for sharing this time with me!
