Potatoes!


Potatoes last year were so great, we just had to try them again. This time I planted All Blues and All Reds. 7 plants each, from starter seed potatoes. I have a little spot for them on the side of the house. I dug three trenches (amended the soil a couple of months ago and covered it to prevent weed growth), placed potatoes in them, and covered with mulch. They should pop through in a few weeks and then I'll mound them as they go along.
Last year's All Blues were great and super productive. Yukon Golds were good too but not nearly as productive. With only a little land, they had to go...we'll see how the All Reds do...stay tuned.
