Very Late Potatoes

[greenstorm]

Put some potatoes up in the far field under straw, in some cases in the empty corn beds. Put in the last row of tomatoes, mostly green-when-ripe ones (I think) that the labels had rubbed off -- seems like I had one marker that wasn't colourfast for the labels.

I have no idea whether they'll produce much, maybe I'll just get baby potatoes, but I had the space and the extra straw and the potatoes sitting around. If I turn up a little more straw I'll put in some russets. I know some potatoes had some level of daylength sensitivity that's been mostly bred out of them, but I'm hoping that in addition to food I get some nice small ones I can bright-store over winter to grow next year. Granted, I still need to order for next year because I have no Amarosa.

The corn issue really threw me off this spring, the rototiller coming late put me behind, busy at work put me more behind, and then I spent much more time trying to sort out corn stuff than getting tomatoes and potatoes into the ground.
