This picture was taken last summer July 2013. I planted in a Pot. Last summer I was busy, went out for a vacation.

  This year also I have planted potato plants are in the pots. Potato plants love water, sun and good soil.
When the potato plant will blossom, then after a month it will start dying. All the plants are dead and brown, then dig up the potatoes.


Today I'm going to post about garden. This is going to be a nice post, to share with you at the chives.
I hope you enjoyed our garden.
