Planting Potatoes

As part of our Nature Study we planted three potatoes in a plastic bag outside our classroom. We put a few shovels of compost in the bag. We placed the potatoes in the compost. We covered the potatoes over with more compost. We watered them and left them to grow.
We look each day to see have any shoots come up from the potatoes and we water them frequently. When the shoots come up over the soil we will cover them again with compost which will increase our crop of potatoes.
