Garden Planning 2 or GF Fish Fry?

Guess what arrived after many days of probably sitting in a truck that was sitting on the side of the road?
My organic seeds!



The snow has affected Italy quite a bit and the trucks haven't been able to pass. The highway around Florence was lined with trucks that had been stopped due to the worsening weather up north. 

When the seeds arrived I got a boost of wanting to work on gardening..I know the weather is freezing and there is still snow outside...but I can grow things inside, right?! If only I wasn't going to the states soon I would have my seeds sprouting. I don't really trust my old man to remember to water my seeds. 

So, what did I do? I made a little house for my potatoes to start growing in. Hahaha. You don't really have to make something like this but I wanted to do something so I did. The potatoes will grown their sprouts without sitting upright in this thing or an egg carton but whatever...I want to seem professional in the eyes of my disbelieving(and more inexperienced than me) husband who told me that potatoes come from seeds, not potatoes! Hahahahah. Oh ye of little faith. 



This irrelevant picture is of my husband poking around the gluten free fish fry that his mum did for us at lunch yesterday. 



Gluten free fish fry is easy. Just cut up some calamari and take some cleaned shrimps and put them in gluten free flour until they are coated. Fry them in hot oil! Put them on oil sucking paper and sprinkle with salt. It was good but we all smelled like fry oil afterwards!

That is funny that your hubby thinks you can't grow potatoes from potatoes :) hehehe The things we are not taught when we are little!
