Today's haul!

I planted 0.4 kilograms of Russian Banana seed potatoes in 3 square meters of my ainneor. Today's yield was 22.9 kilograms! That's crazy! I cannot believe how productive this variety planted in a traditional ainneor is!

I now know how to grow potatoes. Now I need to learn how to store them and how to eat A LOT of them.

TrΓ₯d 4/4

Wildfire smoke, be damned! I'm digging spuds, today!

This is last 3 square meters of the 5 sq. meter ainneor (lazy bed) I planted with potatoes in late April.

This variety is a fingerling potato called "Russian Banana." It is supposed to be excellent for potato salads.

Usually, the deer leave the foliage alone but they have been munching away at it for the last few weeks. (Lots of hot, dry weather, here.)

Part of our friends' new - built with almost all free salvaged materials. Only the roof covers were bought.
I'm going to help them put more plants in here soon. I brought them several food plants, yesterday.

20 lbs of plums this year. A bit less than last year, but the tree needed a big pruning this season so we expected it.

Chipmunks apparently climb blueberry branches and eat them. This was just a few weeks ago, before they turned my blueberry bushes into their all you can eat cafe.

This morning, I harvested Dark Red Norland potatoes I planted in an ainneor (lazy bed).

On 30 April, I planted 2 kg of seed potatoes in a 2 sq. meter section of the ainneor. Today's harvest yielded 16.8 kg. Since I have only grown potatoes a few times in the last 30+ years, I don't know if this is a typical yield or not.

Look at my white flowers πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ They're late this year because I was too slow to sow seeds. Delicious & rather sweet tasting - good eating fresh off plant & for pickling. Yummy! I love eating cucumbers & grow 4 different kinds.

The β€œweeds” popping up in my garden turn out to be foxtail millet, which is a cereal grass. I’ve let a patch grow and it’s so dense, it looks like I sowed it intentionally.

Fata (Potato) Update

Nine weeks after planting.

The plant growth of the Dark Red Norlands (the two square meters of potatoes on the right) is just starting to die back. I'm guessing they will be ready to dig in the next week or two.
