Allow me to throw in my 2 cents on salmon and potatoes. lol
It’s important to get fresh salmon and avoid the “farm raised” wannabes. Many stores that sell nice fresh salmon also offer cedar planks for barbecuing. Use these on your grill with genuine mesquite charcoal. No seasoning is needed as every bite will “break da mouth”.
Living on the slopes of Haleakala I plant my potatoes in rich volcanic soil. You simply cut of old russett’s, bury in the soil and in a few weeks you wind up with an amazing cross between a yukon gold an an Idaho russett. Hands down the tastiest tater in the world. In a row next to the potatoes you can grow sweet Kula, Maui onions. Slice these babies up, sprinkle some olive oil or melted butter on them and wrap in foil. Grill for about 5 minutes and flip the foil wrap over for another 5 minutes.
Ok..there you have it.
Nice post.
Not sure about cedar planks and barbecuing but the potato info is intriguing.
Well, not living in the perfect gardening spot in the world like you do, I can only grow Irish taters in the late winter/early spring.
The weather here gets too hot and humid by May and they’ll disease out by then.
So, planted 15/6 February = ready end of May. Any later and I’ll get potato marbles/golf balls.
Sweet taters get planted after the Irish ones are dug out.
