OK, fine, maybe there’s no such thing as a stupid question. But not knowing the answers to these made me feel pretty dumb.

Q: Can I grow vegetables in the same bed as my irises?
A: I didn’t actually ask anyone this, but I wondered about it a lot. And then we went ahead and planted some stuff, and they seem to be doing fine.

Q: Is that a carrot or is it grass?
A: It was grass. Carrots come up cute and frilly. Grass is … grassy. Also, I need to get those pesky little clovers out of there.

Q: Does one potato plant produce one potato?
A: Nope. Google tells me to expect five or six per plant. I also consulted Almanac.com’s page on potatoes and learned that I need to cover the plants up with some soil pretty soon so they don’t get sunburn. And also you can grow potatoes in a trash can. What? You’re weird, potatoes. Weird & delicious.
