Planting Potatoes

4/23/2016

Hot diggedy dog!  Dandelions are in full bloom now and it's time to plant potatoes.  I dig a trench with a middle buster plow and set the pieces by hand, about a foot apart.  Then I hoe a little dirt over the row and the fun begins.  The plants can take a few weeks to emerge, but with a little rain they grow like wildfire.  I hill them a couple of times, watch for potato beetles and leafhoppers, and before I know it I'm digging tote after tote of tender new potatoes.  I dig them with that same middle buster plow.  Nothing like watching those gorgeous tubers rolling up out of the ground.

Lettuce Hope for Spring

The snowfall and cold weather has put spring off for a few days, so I'm back in the greenhouse, thinning some trays.  As farmers, we do our best to work with nature to produce a crop.  But with all of our knowledge and technology, nature still has the better hand.  And she ain't showin' her cards.
