with less of a carbon footprint than potatoes shipped from Maine

I know that's why I grow vegetables!

I grow vegetables because I like gardening.

Buy your taters from Wisconsin! Little know fact that we’re SECOND in potato production, right behind Idaho. Lots of sandy soil left behind by the glaciers. :)

Maine grows potatoes? Who knew? When I think Maine, I think Lobster and Blueberries.

A late ping.

I’ve had company for TWO weeks and, although I enjoyed them, I am behind on getting some planting done. However, I did get another VERY important mission accomplished, spent several days on the lake fishing.

I do have lettuce and onions up, some asparagus spears and brocholli (sp) now seeding.

And, typical for Tennessee, I have to go out here in a few minutes and cover everything up (including my annual flowers) because a freeze is predicted for tonight, after several weeks of temps in the mid to high 70s.
