greenstorm | Very Late Potatoes (Reply)

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.
