On our Easter visit to the Wickers' Collin got to plant potatoes. He and Stella had a great time playing in the dirt and learning how to hoe and plant. He was a little confused that the actual potato would become a plant, but when we told him he was planting french fries, all was well. So, he and daddy put the potato pieces in the ground and covered them up.
Then, it was back to check out the results of his handywork. Inspite of the heat and complete lack of rain potato plants had grown. Collin wasn't quite as interested in the work of pulling up the plants as he had been just dropping a potato piece in a hole, but he helped.
The potatoes were a bit small, because of the weather, but there were just enough to make french fries for dinner. So, into the kitchen with Nana to learn how to fry homemade french fries!!!
He did a GREAT job!!
