The potatoes have sprouted!


The potatoes have finally sprouted.  It has been almost 3 weeks since I have planted them.  I guess the cooler than usual weather has slowed them down a bit.  I planted Yukon gold and Adirondak Blue, both are early season varieties that should be ready starting in May.  As soon as these plants get a little bit bigger I am going to put chicken wire rings around them and cover the lower half of the plant with a light compost.  I am hoping that this will encourage the potatoes to put tubers above the soil making it possible to harvest the seedlings by hand, and hopefully without having to pull each plant when I harvest them.
