Two Old Potatoes & Me

After a young girl finds two old potatoes at her father's house, they plant and tend them to see if they will have new potatoes in September.

LeVar and his daughter Michaela welcome us to their kitchen as they explore how kitchen waste can actually be re-used to help their garden grow. Then it’s off to visit artists who take castoffs and turn them into something beautiful and useful, and to a manufacturing plant to watch the a-maize-ing feat of turning corn into something totally unexpected.
