Stuff here just starting to grow decent, --- weather been cold, then hot up and down, --- got plants out of the mood of growing!! No peaches this year,-- flower buds got winter killed. Did see some apple, pear, and sour cherries forming. We see how that turns out.

With potatoes . they CLAIM you can replant for 3 years then things go South! I only plant 1 year then get new seed. Other stuff that is modified or crossbred will not give anything like the original.

I got stuck with Yukon GEM one time! NEVER again! NO yield pale color and just no good here! Your results may differ in your area! Also gotta plant garden when its right in your area! What works for 1 wont work for all! I plant way too early here and a lot of the seed dont even sprout!

bigger is better!! More soil area = more production! Plants feel more at home in bigger pots too so that helps. Spuds here just starting to come up. Now gotta start watching for bugs, sprayer is ready! LOL!

The commercial growers use TONS of a REAL nasty chemicals in tater production AND in the storage sheds! They fumigate the stored taters every so often while in storage and keep the taters for 3 to 5 years before they sell or dump them, so my little sprayings are not even on the scale of what...

cant put decomp on these little saws can you??? If so , that would make the 250's easy to start! lol!

Sweet potatoes dont need spray. I never spray them but regular spuds GOTTA be soaked all the time with bug killer!! --- unless you dont want any potatoes cause the colorado potato beetles will devour the plants in one night! They also go for tomatoes, eggplant, and all relatives of this family...

no spray = NO spuds! Simple as that!

Dont need all them dang old trees anyway! Use the space for something productive like growing FOOD! lol!!! I been planting a row of wild trees here along the road, -- not having much luck with them either. They live a couple years then die. Guess I dig them at the wrong time of the year. Cant...

planted mine the day before good friday. just now coming up. Usually cut them but this year not able to so they went in whole! NOT a good idea but it does work, just makes smaller potatoes which I hate! ( bigger = better) I will push dirt over them with the horse tiller. It has the big wing...

I have many that are 12.5 pounds. Not trying to make them that big, --- it just happens. Not planting many this year, --- not able to dig them.
