Posh Farming

…. with a girl in the city

Two weeks after!

I returned to my abandoned farm and I am in shock! 😮

The Irish potato has almost doubled in height, the scallion is tall and thin (not sure why), and the leeks have outgrown the pot and has toppled over. Just think how far they’ve come in such a short time. So, I am happy to report that I used scallions from my posh farm in my soup yesterday….yes, I had split peas soup 🙂 . I will use the leeks tomorrow and I am thinking I may also make some fritters just so I can use some more of my escallion 😀

As for the onion, I’m not sure what’s happening there. I will keep the pot just as is and see if anything eventually emerges. The leaves on the garlic are looking very well. According to farmer Google, the garlic will be ready to reap when the middle leaves have made a full circle. Some of them have already made a 180 degree turn so I am waiting to see the full circle 🙂 .

The sweet potato now spends most of its time on its side because it is too tall for the container. It is almost a foot tall and I am not sure what to do with it. I think I am going to ask my neighbor (the one re the hog plums :)) because he has sweet potato growing in his yard.
