Larry, this is me doing the same in our colder wetter part of the world. I missed the pics when planting as we had a huge black sky and got soaked planting the last few yards...no time to look for a camera. I grow organically and when the spuds are in a few weeks I grub with my tiller down between the rows(2nd pic), then take off the tops with a hand graipe(3rd pic) and earth them up again. My early potatoes, planted the last week of February are well ahead at this stage(4th pic)I dug my first earlies the last week of June. The maincrop had just got the final cultivating then and were now touching across the rows, a crucial time for spraying fungicide for blight control. We had broad beans and cabbage ready at that time of year for to eat with the spuds, our hens produced the egg and my brother made the sausages! Despite all my spraying, every week this year, they did take blight at the beginning of Sept. and we had to remove the stalks immediately, which stopped the growing, but we have enough to do all year. The last pic is my wife and my mate helping to gather the last drill of Blues which have super flavour but do not crop well!
