Potato Project
Well the potatoes survived the digging and re-digging of the now re-homed of the raccoon.
As they came up on only one side of the barrel I wasn’t sure. But as they grew I continued to fill the barrel with soil. Now the barrel is full - so full I will need to remove soil upon harvesting the potato’s or it will just spill all on the paths. Now I will continue to water and once the potatoes flower and then the plants die off, I’ll harvest and re-post what the yield was in the whiskey barrel.
Right now the plants are well above the barrel and if they where in the ground I would continue to cover with soil. I planted them pretty low so I should get quite a bit of the fingerling’s and whatever else was in the “control group” given to me by Boe and Les.
Here are a few pics of the potato plants.
