Planting Potatoes for the First Time Ever!

First planting of the season!  I find it so  exciting to start the spring with my hands  in dirt!  This year I will be planting potatoes for the first time.  I planted six smaller potatoes in a tote container which I drilled holes in the bottom for water drainage.  The potatoes had two to three eyes on each and I planted them down about 4 to 5 inches, watered them, and covered the container with chicken wire to keep our animal friends from digging them up....which they will definitely do!  Updates to follow........
