Potatoes [WAS Sick eggplants]
brucef weites:
What about potatoes? I was going to plant some spuds, but maybe I should leave them a bit too? Spuds are hardy. You have some with good-sized shoots? You can plant them even before frosts are over. Cover with a THICK layer of straw and they'll be protected from most frosts. Even if the young leaves emerge and get nipped right back to ground level, the spud will soon send up new shoots. Just keep adding more straw as they grow to protect from frosts and give them a head start over your neighbours. If your seed potatoes don't yet have shoots then you should wait until they develop before planting. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
