Central Florida Free Potatoes!

We had some sprouted potatoes in the pantry, so Tyler and I planted them in a few pots on the back flower terrace on March 27th.  The spuds sprouted and are now every bit of a foot tall.  Four year-old Tyler is now the "official" water boy, and he keeps them nicely moist without putting on too much water.   He told me he is learning to be a gardener as we were out in the planting beds dead heading the carnations, coreopsis, foxgloves, and marigolds (don't you just LOVE what you can grow in a Central Florida Garden???)

This time last year, the little guy was in Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children fighting for his life due to a ruptured colon.  The angels watched over him (and the angel-doctors and angel-nurses at Arnold Palmer Hospital).  With the help of all those angels and the prayers for the little guy, he is now doing well and learning to enjoy the Good Earth and all that it can offer with some tender loving care - AND some water!
