This weekend I'm going to plant 30 for the fall crop, hope they survive the summer heat and the untested spot I will be planting them in. Not much sun there but maybe it will be fine.
Planting them in the shade may help the potatoes survive the summer. I hope all goes well with your potatoes. Make sure to keep the potato seed and the leaves cool with water.
SWEET SWEET Sandy - those potatoes need a little bit of canadian lovin' - yep - that's right! you need to turn some of those into french fries, make homemade gravy out of beef stock, smother those french fries in gravy and add curds! it's called poutine - trust me, you'll love it!
your potatoes are beautiful mah dahlin - just beautiful!
much love to you and yours always! your friend, kymber
Thank you!!!! It was you who suggested the soil, and I went with soil instead of straw. That made a world of difference with growing the potatoes. I will make potatoes and gravy, maybe not french fries but smashed potatoes.
Wonderful harvest. I love their "roundness". I didn't plant potatoes this year and am missing that. They are so fun to harvest - like finding buried treasure.
Thank you! I love how nice they came out this year. I enjoyed harvesting them but needed to be careful with digging them up not to cause the skin to get damaged.
Potatoes are good for ya. :)
ReplyDeleteRev. Paul,
DeleteI love potatoes!!!! Especially the ones you grow yourself :-)
What? Potatoes? Awesome!!! When did you put them in? I must have missed that post. I will have to read back on it. Nice job!!
ReplyDelete1st Man,
DeleteYes potatoes!!!! I put them in several months back.
This season, I used tires and good soil instead of just covering the potato seeds with straw.
We ate our first potatoes from the garden tonight as well. Had a little cabbage and sausage with em. The boy and I love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteSadly I noticed Potato Beetle Larva on my Tomatoes this evening as well. First time dealing with that particular pest here.
PP,
DeleteGrowing your own potatoes, omg......talk about good.
I make kielbasa with potatoes and peppers and my guys love it too.
I hope you're able to kill off the larva, don't want your tomatoes ruined.
The spuds look great!

I bet those will be the best tasting potatoes you've had this year.

ReplyDeleteMrs. Mac,

I pulled some the yesterday but were not as nice as yours. They are beautiful!
