Recycled potatoes

Did have ever happen to you to find in your pantry some potatoes starting to sprout? I imagine the answer is yes, especially if in a busy life you just do not get to cook them before that happens. In my house they usually go to the compost bin in our back yard. But this time I wanted to try to see if it is possible to transform a loss in a gain.
Me and Kirsten decided to plant our sprouting potatoes. But before going to the garden with a class, we learned on Internet "how to grow potatoes". Let's wait and see if some sun, rain, compost and technology can turn our sprouts in more and fresh potatoes. Waiting time 6-15 weeks depending on the variety. Kids will have fun looking for potatoes underground and learn all about tuber.
