spuds

some winter keeping potatoes have sensed the approach of spring ( top photo ) and so there will be even more spuds planted next month...these came out of my back yard last august and remained fairly stable until the last month or so..what's another thirty potato plants among various gardens? there will be more than enough to go around this coming summer...the early blue in the second photo are totally out of hand but are at the point where they should be setting tubers that will be done in time for spring planting with more rotating in in may for an extended harvest...the wild potatoes are robust ( third photo ) and doing better than i expected given their start...still hoping for wild tubers to plant...the bottom photo is of the third generation yema de huevos in the basement...they are on track for a june planting and a late september/early october harvest...there will be ( i hope )an ample supply of fresh potatoes all season...stay tuned for a summerr of spud.
