That's priceless.
Potatos like deep, acid soil. Plant 'em deep and you'll never have to tend them at all. |
You'd better be right, sunshine, or I'm coming after you!
That's just what I did when I planted them about 5 wks ago. My missus was in my ear "don't plant them that deep!". So, to placate the Dragon, err... I mean THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME, I did a second row half as deep.
Funny thing is they have BOTH sprouted!!!
Geoff, the vegie patch is going just great. Tomatos are just starting to ripen, lettuce & spinich is coming out our ears (I've got my suspicions that Popeye was on the Juice, and not just spinich was on the menu), Chillies are flowering and ears of corn are growing. We're about to harvest our latest batch of beans (planted them with the corn, an old Mayan tip). We've also just cleaned out the broad beans (from the older patch), 4kg worth of beans (shelled!). The tomatoes planted in the older patch are feral! You harvest a mass of them, the next morning there's just as many again! We've done better so far this season than all of last! Our vegie growing neighbours are saying the same.
