But I was reading a fellow's blog who would seem to have every potential to be a good example but who time after time is a horrible warning instead. So I don't link to him. But he says he spent $300 on 200# of seed potatoes. Folks, we spent less than $40.

Then they'd just look like a plowed and disked field! <BR/><BR/>Here's what we do. This field is one of the few places where we grow things in rows. It works to our advantage in hilling is why we do it here. We plotted off the corn area, then started the rows of potatoes, putting a stake at each side of CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542303804886924280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-49998410141315119512008-04-15T19:00:00.000-04:002008-04-15T19:00:00.000-04:00Waiiitttt - my suburban mind is going haywire - th...Waiiitttt - my suburban mind is going haywire - they aren't covered with dirt! Are they supposed to just be lying there? Did the Burpee people lie to me? Should I have left them unhilled until they did something with their eyes?

We probably pulled 75 pounds or so as we plowed (that made our french fry supper that night). And we have a big family of teenagers and they tend to eat a lot. And you can fatten a pig on taters. <BR/><BR/>It will be a LOT of hilling though.

I've been wanting to transplant some berries into a permanent berry patch I'm slowly building (lost about 75 raspberry transplants to last year's drought), but it's been too sunny and hot to get it done. This week looks pretty good though, assuming the soil isn't too wet.<BR/><BR/>We plowed this weekend with our Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-5701004455049001032008-04-13T04:17:00.000-04:002008-04-13T04:17:00.000-04:00Wow, you have been busy.
