We are growing vegetables at my house this year.
This week I am starting a bunch of different types of peppers indoors and gathering the containers for the part of the garden that will be grown that way.
It's still early for most of the vegetables we will be trying to grow.
Not too early for potatoes and I bought a couple of pounds of seeds potatoes last week.
There is a difference between baking potatoes and seed potatoes, the baking potatoes have been sprayed with chemicals to slow or stop the formation of "eyes" on the potato.
That's why we don't see eyes on store bought potatoes anymore.
Avoiding such chemicals is one good reason to grow your own.
The economy is another.
A pound of seed potatoes cut up and planted could produce a hundred one pound potatoes.
At a dollar a pound that's 400 dollars from a 50 cent cash investment.
There are other factors that could limit that return.
Just like investing in anything else.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
