There are still leaves attached and no signs of growth from the Rose Stems yet. And 4 week update... |
The Rose stems are dead, but I now have a bucket of Potatoes growing. By continuing to add dirt to the bucket these potato plants should keep growing. I may not have salvaged the roses, but I will have more potatoes soon! #growyourown #growalittle
