Seed Potatoes
By mid May the soil in the raised beds is ready for planting seeds and potatoes. I have cut several varieties of seed potatoes into pieces, each piece contains at least one eye and after they dry for a day I will plant them. This year I’ve chosen Yukon Gold, Fingerlings, Reds, and German Butterball. It is fun to watch them grow, and even more rewarding to dig up the mature potatoes after a few September frosts.
More tomorrow.
