Then you can ignore my daily posts - they are just for me to keep me accountable. I'll do one for you at the end of the week. 😁1 -

I have been getting our garden beds ready and am going to try growing potatoes this year. I bought 15 gallon cloth pots to try them in. I will try to get them planted this week. I love gardening
We grew potatoes for the first time last year. Planted them both in the ground and in containers - both were successful. We bought seed potatoes at the nursery AND planted some that we got at the grocery store. Again, both successful. I like the containers better because at harvest time you just had to dump the pot into a wheel barrow and then find them. In the ground you had to dig - not as easy. We had potatoes for months. This year we just did them in containers. Hope you have great success!

Gardening is a great way to burn calories. I have a silly question. How did you plant the potatoes? Did you cut the eyes off older potatoes and use them? This will be my first time growing potatoes so I am in the process of figuring out how to do it. I am getting the pots that you have a flap to open to get the potatoes out.
We did them two ways last year. We bought the "seed" potatoes from the nursery and then just put them in the pot as is. We also had the small yukon gold and tri colored potatoes from the grocery store and just put them in the pot. Both worked. This year we had some really old potatoes with the eyes. I read this article on how to plant those - we ended up just cutting the potato into quarters and planted each quarter with eyes up. Hope it works.

I went to Barbados with my family. The weather was so lovely. I did pretty good with my food but I did drink quite a lot while I was there. Rum punch and pina coladas. I try to be mindful on vacation without depriving myself of the things that I really want to enjoy.3 -

One color ......everything?
I'm thinking a light gray.
Food combo.....
I'm pretty basic so nothing really weird.
When I was growing up, we used to get Jay's onion and garlic potato chips and mix them with okey-doke cheddar cheese popcorn. It was so good!! I'd do it again today if I could find the chips!
@slimmersixties ~ I'm committed to being 208 by July 1. That's 10lbs. 5 for the remainder of May and another 5 in June. Very reasonable and doable!!
@Chickieboom22 ~ Welcome back from Barbados. Hey, you lost while being on vacation!!! Kudos to you.

Bingo night with Mom, always a good time; noone won. I can never resist the junk that is on the table - I left some extra calories to my day just in case - but someday hope I will have power to resist it.
