Kyle Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 4 minutes ago, toast21602 said: Till or turn the soil 12-16” deep immediately before planting. That will give them loose soil to grow freely. Once the plant is 6-12” out of the ground, mound dirt around them so the potatoes stay covered from sunlight. That was one of my concerns was how deep/shallow to actually plant them and if they would push upwards over time and need to be covered with soil again. Thanks for the info! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Our beets are coming in nicely this year. We planted a mix of Detroit Red and Golden. This is just about 5% of our total beet crop. Pumped to cook these tonight. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I’m house sitting for my parents this week and picked through their garden for them yesterday.... not a bad haul on jalepenos. This was halfway through, in total I think I picked around 120 jalepenos. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Most likely this tastes like crap due to the size, but somehow I missed this monster while picking the garden yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiincy Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 That's A LOT of potatoes, jalapenos, and a huge cucumber (?) Meanwhile in Philly, I've produced 4 small grape tomatoes and a carrot, which is about the size of a nickle. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
