the things that garden columnists suggest!

Last week I referred to ‘‘growing potatoes in

- a barrel’’.. This past week we talked to

friends in Vancouver who had tried the same
method a couple of years ago.

Seems the man had made a series of open-
ended wooden boxes, planted his potatoes in
the bottom. one, and as they grew added
additional boxes, filling them with soil (as

‘the potatoes grew) until he had a structure.
that resembled ‘‘the leaning tower of Pizza’’
and was six feet tall.

By. October the potatoes had flowered,

*, and the foilage turned brown. This coupie
* decided to hold a ‘‘potato unveiling party’’
‘and invited a number of guests. Since it was
-cold out, they served: hot drinks and when
everyone was somewhat warmed up the host
got the hammer,,. and carefully peeett to
- dismantle his astonishing edifice.
' The top box yielded nothing but.a deluge
of dirt, most of ‘which filled “his boots.
; Somewhat . embarrassed, he took © down. .
- another layer, with the same sorry result. By _
the time he had the vast box reduced: to

-* a.quantity of spuds — most of them well —

- » washed, and obviously of differing varieties! ©

rather. unceremoniously, on the green-house

Aftera few days we did plant them, and
because they weren't very attractive, put
