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.
