Apr 10, 2009 · okay, the good folks over at Backyard Chickens sent me to you all. Need some sage advice regarding my garden this year. I am a former country bumpkin gone suburban. Despite my DH's best efforts to civilize me, I have accumulated chickens, a pony, and fenced off a portion of our postage stamp...

Jan 10, 2017 · June is quite some time from now and I hope you have good storage conditions. I don't really and my August harvested potatoes usually last about this long and aren't much good later. I have just been down in my basement room where I keep them. The University of Idaho recommends 6°C to 13°C (42°f to 55°f) for home storage of potatoes.

Apr 19, 2011 · I bought seed potatoes last month and for lack of anywhere else they went into the basement. Cool & dark but damp. I discovered today some have 3-4 inch long roots already! I am in zone 5. According to my planting calenders I should plant potatoes around the 9th or so of May. That is still another 2 weeks away. We had snow just last week.

Apr 10, 2014 · Marshall, I like that abreviation for Seedobsesser (SeedO). Yep your probably correct about the the dark pinto pattern being from a set of dominant traits. It will be amazing to see what you wind up with amongst all those new outcrosses beans I sent you. Can you imagine the combinations I...

Apr 29, 2009 · The sweet potatoes grow down. The reason for the hill is to make them a whole lot easier to dig. They will grow and produce if you don't start out with them on a hill, but they are a lot harder to dig. I inititally thought the spacing recommended on the extension sites was to crowd them a bit to get marketable sized sweet potatoes.

Apr 17, 2011 · If they take over too much they can be cut back but no more than necessary. The vines and leaves on them produce the energy that goes into forming sweet potatos so the more they are cut back the smaller the harvest will be. I feed what I trim back to my rabbits so they do double duty, sweet potatos for my larder and trimmings for the rabbits.

Apr 30, 2010 · I grow in buckets, layer of hay at the bottom, the come compost with potatoes, then a layer of hay or mulch (usually wood mulch) then more compost. Then I layer to the top with compost and another layer of mulch to finish it off on top. I do this over time as the potatoes grow. End of season, I just dump the bucket and fish out the potatoes.
