In Durango, you can start planting potatoes in May. No yard? No problem. Here’s a way to grow potatoes in your next Amazon box. It’s a fun project for kids or apartment dwellers. All you need is a roomy box, some leaves and potting soil, and a couple seed potatoes. Add sun, water and time.
Note: Do NOT use potatoes you got from the grocery store. They’re typically sprayed with something to prevent sprouting. Get seed potatoes at a nursery or garden center.
