On top of the ground planting is covered in Lasagne Gardening book.
Wet newspapers, seed potatoes, straw. Very simple and very easy to pick....Potatoes aren’t as large but I planted little red ones ....mmmm
I used a large half tub for sweet potatoes....Will add another tub next year.
I’ve got some red potatoes from ‘The Pig’ that are beginning to sprout. I think I’m going to try them and the lasagna method this weekend. They’re from Florida so probably suited to the deep south. We’ll see. Hopefully with frost cloth (2 layers kept my lettuce in my raised beds safe from 24 degrees earlier this winter) they will be happy. I’ve just got to get my dad to show me how to make seed potatoes from the ones I’ve got.
I’m going to plant regular seed potatoes from the local co-op in the garden in about 6w according to our local planting chart. Hopefully they don’t drown. Garlic doesn’t look too happy right now with the 5” of rain the other night.
The maillady brings little boxes and envelopes a couple times a week here with little packets of seeds. Just ordered from Jung’s the other evening and getting ready to order from Parks tonight.
Hubby is going to get my grow light situation worked on this weekend and hopefully little pepper and tomato and possibly eggplant seedlings will follow along shortly.
Anybody ever grown pyrethrum daisies or Jicama for natural insecticide?
