East Union AG students are growing potatoes!
Our 7th grade AG students have been working on a project to grow potatoes for the past 2-3 months. The NC Cooperative Extension partnered with us this semester to get students growing food indoors over the holidays. Students planted pieces of potato into bags of soil and visited the greenhouse regularly to tend to their personal potato bag. They watered, fertilized, and hilled soil for their potatoes for almost 90 days. This week, they were able to see the fruits of their labor and dig up their brand new potatoes!
