Garden Party

How do you grow potato plants?
To grow potato plants you dig a hole called a trench. You cut potatoes into pieces and make sure they are sticking up with the roots sticking up.
How long do potatoes take to grow?
Potatoes take 6 weeks or more to grow. They need to be watered every day.
What did you learn when planting potatoes in the garden?
My favorite part was digging the trench. The roots sticking out of the potatoes are called eyes.

As a class we discovered that Zacchaeus is an expert digger. His trench was perfectly straight!!!
