Ugh! Weeds! Talked with Beau about that, last night. I am going to hand-weed the four rows of potatoes, which will be a relatively easy job, but he’s promised to run the small tiller between all the other rows/hills when he gets back from fishing.
Fishing isn’t going very well this time around. They caught better fish (Walleye and Northern) here in Wisconsin earlier this spring, but they still have a week to go.
Which reminds me - got to thaw some fillets for Fish Tacos this week. Yum! :)
Potatoes......
We created massive quantities of chopped and mulched maple and oak leaves last fall. There are still cubic yards left after mulching everything needing mulch.
I raked up a pile into a row about 10 feet long and have placed 7 potatoes on top of the undisturbed dirt under the heaped-up mulch.
So far, I have three plants growing in the leaf mulch with no dirt.
This is my only crop. My wife is the gardener and I am but a laborer and plumber for the irrigation
