    Hello y'all, i'm here to thank you my lenders and zidisha for your support, with the funds i bought enough potato tubers and planted them on a quarter acre piece of land, the plants have done well considering that the rains were not consistent and much, but i'm hoping to get enough seed so that i can expand to half an acre, next season i wont be buying seeds and thats a good thing....thank you all :D
