In The Beginning... Potatoes

We decided to plant potatoes here because this is the first crop on this land in decades.  Potatoes loosen the ground for future crops.  We love potatoes!



In April we created fertilized mounds into rows running north to south.  Furrows were then opened in each mound.  This allowed for earthing up as the plants grew.  The potatoes (spuds) were planted about 12 inches apart and covered at a depth of about 6-8 inches.

I'll post another update when we harvest!
