ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO


At Chanukah time, Gan Daled placed a potato in water. During the next few months the potato sprouted roots and leaves which grew into vines. The roots and leaves grew and grew until we decided that we didn't have a container large enough to hold them and it was time to transfer the potato into the ground.

The children enthusiastically dug a large hole and planted the potato in it. They replaced the soil and carefully watered the plant. We will be observing our plant and hope it will continue to flourish.
