Congratulations on the potatoes everyone! Just wanted to pipe in and say that you can use straw, instead of soil/compost, to mound in a potato container and it works great! I use pea straw - a bale is super cheap and you get peas...

Oooh mamamoogs I weaned my DS 6 mths ago. When I read your post I instantly thought 'she's pregnant'. For giggles I squeezed my nip (I'm ttc'ing) and there was milk! I was pretty sure I dried up too. I'm 10 dpo or so I think. So...
