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!

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.

Harvested about 1/3 of the potatoes earlier and will be making some with dinner tonight.

I ate a Greek salad yesterday ding dong

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. 

[Kyle]

Most likely this tastes like crap due to the size,  but somehow I missed this monster while picking the garden yesterday

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.

My mom cuts them up and pickles them and jars them. We also give some away to our neighbors and what not. That’s equal to about 14 16oz mason jars worth

Wow that’s a lot. A jar should end up at Blue this year for burger topping.
