Cartofii se cultiva foarte usor, pot fi crescuti atat in gradina cat si in saci din plastic, ghivece, galeti sau cutii din lemn inalte. Trebuie doar sa le oferiti soare si apa.

La plantare se folosesc cartofi incoltiti pe care fie ii cumparati de la magazinele de profil, fie lasati cartofii din camara sa incolteasca si ii folositi pe aceia. Doar sa nu fie tratati. Eu cumpar de la supermarket saci de 3-5 kg de cartofi, folosesc o parte din ei, apoi pe cei care incoltesc ii pun in pamant. Plantez la 2 saptamani 3-4 cuiburi de cartofi si astfel am toata vara si pana toamna cartofi noi cu coaja subtire. Asa am procedat anul trecut, anul acesta, deoarece imi voi mari putin gradina, voi pune mai multi cartofi si poate imi raman cativa si pentru iarna.

Dar iata cum se procedeaza.

Cartofii se planteaza in gradina in luna martie, dupa ce pamantul s-a dezghetat. Acestia sunt cartofii de primavara sau noi si vor putea fi recoltati incepand cu luna iunie. Cei plantati mai tarziu, in aprilie, vor fi recoltati in iulie-august si sunt cartofi de vara, iar cei plantati in mai-iunie sunt cartofii de toamna si se recolteaza in septembrie.

Se sapa bine pamantul si se amesteca prin sapare cu ingrasamant natural. Se grebleaza si se fac la o distanta de 40-50 cm una de alta cateva gropi adanci de aproximativ 20 cm. In fiecare groapa pun 1-2 cartofi cu mugurii in sus. Se acopera gropile cu pamant usor musuroit. Se uda bine si in scrut timp veti observa plantele de cartof iesind din pamant. Atunci cand plantele cresc inalte de 15 cm, acoperiti cu pamant jumatate din tulpina, formand un musuroi. Astfel, tinuta la intuneric, planta va forma din tulpina principala alte tulpini si radacini suplimentare, iar recolta va fi mai bogata. Udati-i des.

Recoltarea cartofilor poate incepe dupa ce planta infloreste, insa atunci cartofii vor fi mici. Daca doriti sa ii lasati sa creasca mai mult, mai ales in perioada infloririi trebuie udati des. Eu, atunci cand doresc sa consum cartofi merg in gradina si scot cate un cuib de cartofi proaspeti. Restul ii las sa creasca pana cand planta se usuca de tot. Atunci ei ajung la maturitate. Puteti sa ii scoateti din pamant, sa ii lasati sa se usuce 2 ore la soare, apoi sa ii puneti la pastrare  la intuneric intr-o ladita de carton, sau puteti sa ii mai lasati in pamant si sa ii scoateti cand ii folositi sau toamna.

Daca ii plantati in casa in ghivece (sau pe un balcon inchis, sera – feriti de inghet), galeti sau alte recipiente, puteti incepe planatarea cartofilor inca din ianuarie. Ghiveciul trebuie sa fie destul de mare, cu un diametru de 30-40 cm. Se pune in el pamant cam 10-15 cm, apoi se pun 3-4 cartofi incoltiti si se acopera cu pamant. Se uda si se pune ghiveciul la lumina. Atunci cand afara se incalzeste (martie), pot fi mutate ghivecele afara. In rest, se procedeaza la fel.

Where am I??? Hello... You don't remember me... but I remember you!!! That was once upon a time. All I wanted was to play on the seesaw... and all those times you ignored me. All you did was stick to your pathetic word games and spent time with your stupid pet chicken, Gary!!! Yo Dude!!! So, okay... yeah... I lose. Let's play what you want to play, but this time we play by my rules!!! Don't worry... someone special has decided to keep you company. Your dear little Gary Junior!!! HHHEEEELLLLLPPP!!! Win the game and everyone goes home happy... but if you lose, the chick dies! Uh... that's a joke, right?!? So... Let's play a game. MOOOMMMYYY!!!

HOW TO PLAY? All you have to do is find words and earn enough points to reach your target. The longer the word, the more points you get. Click on a letter on the Grid to form a word. A letter may be selected if it is adjacent to the last selected letter in the word, and if it is not already selected. Click on a letter to select it, Click again to deselect. Pressing the BACKSPACE key can also be used to deselect the last letter in the selection. You may check if your word is valid by clicking on the CHECK WORD button. The ENTER key may also be used. The CLEAR button allows you to deselect all the selected letters. The SPACEBAR works the same way. The Grid has been pre-plotted with three (3) hidden words (always more than 5 letters long) which give extra points when found. Click I NEED HELP button to get hints regarding these words so you'll know what to look for. Be warry of the clock, coz it's game over if you don't hit your target and run out of time.

Seesaw: Let's play a game. Fail and the chick dies... It's an evil word game inspired by the Saw series!
