Growing Potato's - 2011

Here's where the potato garden will be. It's been plowed, and disk ed, and is ready for the potato seed in a couple of weeks. The will be 16 rows in this plot. 12 of them will be be Norland Red (100 lbs of seed), and Burbank Russet (50 lbs if seed). Each row will be approx. 100' long. The remaining rows 4 rows will be peas, spinach, onions, and broccoli. The broccoli is new this year. I think it will grow well in the cool climate. I leave 4' between each row so they can be cultivated, and hilled with a small tractor. It also help to keep the ground from being depleted from nutrients. I try and keep things organic, and natural. : ) Gardening is like a science experiment seeing what will grow, and how to improve the quality, and harvest from year too year. I learn new things each season.
