Here is what I'm talking about. Our potato plants are about the field size plants the grower had. These are burbank russet, our first time growing this variety using the information we got from the grower. It pays to listen to the experts,you will note the small barren ground is the sweet potato's we are trying this year, they are just starting to green up and grow,after fertilizing and watering and rain helped boost them up. The first two photo's are new ground,never been any planting in that section, the next two photo's are previous garden that had been planted with corn, tomatoes. the last is the sweet potato. The fellow that mentioned not digging them until the vines died is correct, the local (our area) sprays the vines to kill them in early Sept. to ease digging them and keeps the machinery from bundling the vines around the equipment (driveshafts on truck) when picking. We should have enough potato's to give to the food pantry and local soup kitchens and our own consumption for the year. This batch had nothing to do with Great grandpas growing recipe,alot has changed in seed and growing techniques since the last World war.Like tha man says "The proof is in the pudding." LOU P.S. Photos were just taken less than 30 minutes ago.
