I'm growing a small patch and the truth is the potato's taste better than anything you can buy.

Next year, I'm going to plant a 12' x 12' bed that hasn't been used in 2 years.

Good summertime crop here in zone 10/11 west central florida /

... our deer and rabbits would laugh at that fence.

Turns out it was wallabies.

Of course, if I was hungry, any deer, rabbits or wallabies inside the fence could be a meal item too...
