The taters need hilled and the seeds and seedlings need planted. Other than that the garden’s great lol!

LOL. I hilled the potatoes with straw this year. They have just started blooming. I will tell you this, potatoes are my favorite thing to plant.

Catch a nice day in April and git ur done. Cover with straw. Water if it doesn’t rain, but here we almost always have sufficient rain in April and May. Easiest thing I have ever grown.

“The taters need hilled...”

I planted some white taters and they have been growing some gorgeous plants! At what point do I know I need to “hill” them? They look really happy! Do I just cover part of the leaves?

I do know that my sweet potatoes need to have more dirt on top of their vines.(I did that last year. This is my first year for trying white potatoes.)

Thanks for advice!
