I got all my Irish potatoes planted: Yukon Gold, All Blue and Red Norland... and then... 10 + inches of rain in a five day period.

So now my potato bed is a mud flat. Rain forecast for the rest of the week, too.

No good deed goes unpunished!

Love Red Norland - I always plant those. I thought for sure that I would lose my potato crop last year - we had SO MUCH RAIN. My beds are raised, but they were mulched. I had to pull back the mulch to let them dry out. It was ridiculous.

Hoping your Taters will survive. My crop was less than normal, but they still produced reasonable well. Good Luck!
