I just harvested 7/8ths of my row potato crop

When did you plant your potatoes? Something is eating the foliage on my potatoes, but I never see anything on them. Whatever it is, it's not eating my tomato foliage or my asparagus, just the potatoes. I put out sluggo as whatever is eating them must be eating the foliage at night.Sluggo didn't stop whatever is eating them.

I planted my potatoes in late February, IIRC, and last week when I peeked. I saw one red potato the size of a bb. argggh.

I dug up some of my ginger root the other day, and got a hadful of ants..not little black ants. These looked more like fire ants, but they didn't bite me..They had a ginormous ant nursery I disturbed.

We had over an inch of rain today. It looks like it's raining up your way right now.

January 25th, according to the calendar. Most were the size of elongated golf balls. I expect to get large ones out of the compost cages.

I had problems with the foliage looking bad and yellowing. I'm going to blame some of that on the ants. There were ants everywhere. I'm going to open that entire row up and disturb them so they move somewhere else.
