my trashcan potatoes are stretching so badly to reach the direct sunlight they have created the perfect scenario. they are literally twice as high as the ones in the garden. i will be adding a whole 12" of dirt as soon as it warms up. after that, the barrel will need topped off one more time, maybe another 6", creating a total vertical potato growing media 24" deep :clap:

That and the other side neighbors ..when they moved in yrs back..cut down the only kern berry bush I know of around here...my dad about shit...the guy that moved in that place was literally 100% blind..and the one little bush that was half on us and half on him..he managed to stumble around till he found it and cut it..after we even told him we ate the berries off it for years..not like we wanted them all...we were just saying they were good to eat...and this blind ass being the dick he was made sure he went straight and cut it down....and I went to church for 15 yrs w him after this...I forgave him for that.. but when I caught him beating his wife I didn't feel so bad remembering how big of a pos he was...the wife won in the end..put his ass in a home...trust me..he was a bad person so I don't feel bad about saying this stuff
