Spud garden [View all]

Due to Things Happening, I did not think I would be around to garden this summer so planted 1/2 my veg garden in spuds. Rather than crowding them into 1 to 1 1/2 beds as usual, I spread them out into 3 beds to give them room and shad out other weeds. The reason I was going to be not gardening has disappeared, but I am enjoying thinking of the break I will get with only spuds, 1 row of peas, 1 row of beans, and my spouse's flowers.

I have harvested 12:1 and 2:1 in the past. It will be interesting to see what happens with the 17# I planted this year.

-Austrian fingerlings
-Yukon Gold (only a couple)
-Red Chieftan
-Ozettes (local fingerlings)
-Pink Pearl
-German Butterball
-Nicola
-Bake King
