Two things I'd like to hear the collective wisdom on:
What do folks use to make furrows for potatoes? We used walk-behind rototillers with attachments for years. This past year we got a set-up for the tractor, but it didn't work well. It used a set of discs arranged to push soil to each side. But it wasn't deep enough and we got a lot of green potatoes. I've heard of some people using a middle-buster - is this the best thing? (If so, I'm putting two on my wish list right now!)
Second, can anyone recommend a good heat-tolerant eggplant variety? We like large traditional shape purple-black ones. We love Nadia, but this summer it refused to set fruit for a while. Are there "hot-set" eggplants? I need a reliable productive one, probably a hybrid.
