Hey Kate and list...remember those Ozette potato sets that we talked about last spring? I needed them for an 1850's history garden. We harvested on Sunday, November 5th....68 pounds of potatoes which was quite tremendous for this garden and only historically accurate fertilizers...meaning mostly compost/manure. I was amazed at the amount and size of the tubers since they were planted in beds that had a previous life as a gravel parking pad. I hadn't really hoped for much as the plants seemed small and floppy, and the irrigation depended on spotty volunteer efforts. But, wow! I have grown many fingerling varieties in better soil and never had a harvest like this. I have saved 15 lbs for next year's garden. (Let's see if I can get them through the winter safely) The success of the potatoes helped to counter the disappointment of the pumpkin patch. Heirloom vines set a beautiful crop and then collapsed from wilt as the pumpkins were ripening....and next came the wretched groundhog to chew nearly all the remaining fruit. Thanks, Shawnee, zone 5 sort of... Boo! Scare away worms, viruses and so much more! Try Windows Live OneCare! Try now! |
