potato plantation







when i cut the seed potaoes day before yesterday i knew there wouldn't be enough room in the bed for all of them....fortunately when i cleared the area for the beds of trees and assorted vines, russian olives, and those vicious wild raspbeeries i left enough room for some plants outside the bed, so there is an annex to the potato bed with what i hope will be seventeen plants in addition to the twenty-one in the bed...lots of ogranic matter and worms in the soil around the bed so we should be all set...i planted red nordlands on the tenth of april last year as well...as i recall it took about ten days before the first plants broke cover and by the second week of july i had harvested them all...i would expect that to be nearly the schedule i can look forward to this season as well...more stuff as it comes up.
