We might have to set on a park bench for an afternoon again. When I plant the tomatoes in the bucket I mix in a fair amount of fertilizer 10-10-10 is what I use and seven bug killer for the cut worms and such. LB

Yes, let's find that bench this spring and talk. If spring ever comes that is.....I appreciate your company and the life stories you've got to share! Still disappointed you couldn't handle the spicy pickles

I did one year, they looked just like in the picture and tasted like regular carrots but they were on the small side, Not sure if it was that season or the variety.

We are not going to hit the average temps in Western ND for at least another 14 days.

Its going to be a shit show when this pattern breaks. Below average temps holding this snow pack and ice back, then suddenly 60* days, oh boy.

I wouldnt do JUST multi color, Ive tried a few different varieties and keep going back to Nantes, they are consistently good for me.

There will likely be some who are surprised to learn they live in a flood zone (500 yr etc.) this year.

When it's real bad water goes places nobody ever dreamed of.

Ask Noah.

There are plenty of people moving snow away from their homes. One of these days it is going to warm up. The snow is melting now due to the angle of the sun. At 20 degrees. 50 is going to raise hell.

Last week of May through first week of June. Taters and onion sets next week. Cutting my tater this weekend so they cure before planting. First planting of carrots next week too. LB

Reason for cutting, curious ? Have just always pieced and planted previously.

By cutting and letting cure so that a "skin" forms on the cut part there is less chance the "seed potato" will rot. I plant about 500 each year and only a few will not start this way. LB

Do you let them air dry or in bag in fridge ?

 

[LBrandt]

Air dry in garage on a sheet of plywood or cardboard. Lay out so skin side down and not touching so all cut sides are exposed to air for about 5 days usually. they are ready to plant when no moisture is apparent on cut sides. LB

My lab does the same thing and potatoes too. Have to watch her like a hawk when working in the garden. LB

I had an interesting conversation with a potato farmer who is 102 years old and still of sound mind. He told me all about cutting seed potato with a seed cutter . Me being from the hills , I had never heard of such a machine so I had to find one online. Pretty cool setup.
