I was reading through your list on this post and saw stored potaotes, then I went to your sidebar and found how you grew them in buckets..last year we grew in tires and were so sad to find the rodents had chewed them so badly that we didn't have much of a harvest. Then in the same post you had fig trees highlighted and I really got excited as we lost our first one last season and so I put that post on my favorites to go look at when I have time to study it. Thank you so much, you are a true wealth of information.
