Thank you, I am giving it a try. We have had some odd weather this year. Not sure what I will get out of my garden.
The last 10 days we had really hot weather and sun. Before that we had too much rain and cloudiness.
Now it is cool and cloudy.
I guess I will have to take what I get.
You are most welcome. When you dig into them start out at least a couple of feet out from the base of the plant and go deep to get under the potatoes. Better to dig lots of dirt than to stab a potato in harvesting.
We too started off with lots of water and then hot hot hot steamy heat. I think 108 was our top heat index. I have nine rows of corn and mid June a storm blew threw and laid down every stalk of corn. So I in ankle plus deep mud stood each one back up but it made my soil in the middle like bricks and even though it is still somewhat moist I can hardly get a hoe to slice off a sliver of dirt. Then this past weekend a front moved through and laid down half of the corn the opposite direction without the 3-4 inches of rain that came with the earlier front. Now we are having nights in the low 60's and highs of 85. I am itching big time to dig into my potatoes, but I bought 10 lbs of potatoes a week ago on sale as my potato vines were still standing real tall. But now they are starting to lay down and so I plan to check them out after I get the 10 lbs of potatoes used. I finally got one bed of sweet potatoes out and hoping to get the other one done tomorrow.
