After the first leaves fan out, you can start hilling rich earth and leafy compost around the base, to provide the depth the potatoes will need to flourish and expand.
I think you could write a wonderful story about the potato and the survival and renewal of Minneapolis.
GZ: Yes! I posted it on the store's FB too, part of my informal "We Are Resilient" series.
CROW:Thanks for the potato growing tip---I've never grown one! You can see that Low, girlette Protector of the Potato, took your advice yesterday. We all need rich soil to keep producing, eh? XO
Good to see new beginnings.
