Potatoes are known to be the most loved vegetable of all because children and adult consider it as one of their most favorite vegetables whenever asked about it. Potatoes are commonly used in many main dish and appetizers, and even as a snack or finger food. Mashed potato and French fries are the most common appetizer and snack that are popular all over the world. Thus, the fame that potatoes have cannot be matched by just any other vegetable that you can think and lay side by side with it.

Due to the popularity of potatoes, many people try to grow their own potato garden. This way, they can be sure that the potatoes they serve for lunch or dinner are fresh and organically grown. Potatoes are not that difficult to grow even by inexperienced gardeners. Potatoes are root crops which means they grow under the soil. This makes potatoes easy to plant because they can grow progressively even without frequent attention given to them. Also, potatoes are do not get spoiled easily so upon harvest time, they can be stored for quite a while before being used in cooking.

Even though potatoes can tolerate some change in the weather, it is still important that you give them protection whenever necessary. Potatoes grow very well under the heat of the sun that is why they can be best planted during spring into summer. When you need to plant potatoes during the cold season, just make sure you create a protective covering to keep your potatoes from getting from and eventually getting spoiled.
