About 2 pounds of new red potatoes dug on the 4th of July.
They were planted on April 10th under this low tunnel, a week and a half
before our last significant snowfall on April 21st.
On warm days in April I removed the cover, and replaced it for the cold nights.
As of June 14th. The first 3 rows are the red potatoes,
the 2 rows behind are Kennebecs planted on May 4th.
As of June 28th, red potatoes on the right, Kennebec potatoes on the left.
July 4th, after digging up 3 hills of red potatoes.
I'll let most of the rest get bigger, but I needed a taste of new potatoes.
The homespun hydroponic salads experiment is going well, and I hope to have a more complete report on that project soon, along with the pea harvest in about a week or two. In the meantime, a part of our kitchen garden is on the porch next to the kitchen, if one needs a leaf or two of lettuce, kale or arugula to put on that chicken salad sandwich.
Eat well and love more; so shall you live long and prosper.
