leave an inch or two of leafy green showing or they might die. when they get to 4-8 inches, cover them leaving an inch or two showing etc. do that a couple times as they grow.

at a certain point just let the plant grow till it flowers then dies back. then dig yer taters.

I was reading that potato bugs hate beans, it's suppose to be good to plant green beans near taters, a couple feet away at most.

I got some potato volunteers, moved them to a hill in the back of the garden, six or seven green leafy spuds is all. I saw one more in the front of the garden today, will move that one too. 7 or 8 volunteer spuds, I should get 30-40 lbs of taters.

I love fresh potatos I hate the hoards of potato bugs. will make due I guess help pay for the gas maybe...

did you know that the price of a crude was $18 a barrel when George Bush first took office 8 years ago? really makes you wonder. the oil companies are making record profits while we starve. shortage my behind.

hope my irises don't freeze tonight I was having so much fun taking pictures of them. i covered them suppose to be real cold.
