Potatoes in the ground. Right on time.

Yes I did get my potatoes in the ground on St. Patricks Day. It was a little overcast and windy.

I planted mine the way my grandfather planted his. My friend however, is trying a new method. We both dug a trench, hers a little than mine, and planted our potatoes eyes up. Then I covered mine up and that was that. My friend covered hers with straw. We then watered all the potatoes. Supposedly after about 6 inches of growth, my friend will put more hay on top. She will keep putting hay on top and will harvest her potatoes from the hay. She won't have to dig them, she will just reach into the hay and pull them off. We'll keep you advised.


Okay for some reason I can't add the picture. Keep checking back, I'll get it posted.
