Planting Potatoes

Now, if someone can tell me how to grow carrots aboveground, I'd be very appreciative! Not exactly aboveground, but this worked well for me with some pretty big Daikons: Make a couple of passes down the future row with the rototiller so the soil is nice and soft; till about 3' wide (with my soil, "soft" is relative). Then, walking to each side of the row, pull soil to the center with a hoe. You should wind up with a raised ridge a bit over a foot high, and much lighter than what passes for dirt around here. Plant along the top of the ridge. Not as much work as you might thing; I did a couple of 30-foot rows in less than a half hour each. The roots did famously, and I might even get brave and try carrots next summer!
