Well, I know it is not Good Friday, but it was so nice out I grabbed my shovel and headed for the garden. I planted 4 rows with 40 hills in each row. I guess I just had to tell the world that.

Nice work, what variety?

My father and I used to grow Yukon Gold; they were very delicious and buttery.

Yukon Gold are my favorite! So yes, and others are white and red ones. I just threw in some small ones I have left from last year. I usually plant between 18 and 24 rows, but the others rows may only have 30 hills in them. I love my garden.

everyone should plant taters. They are the easiest thing there is to grow. And you cant buy the little new taters in the store...they are the best.

I try to plant enough to last me all year, but I have a good place to keep them throughout the winter.

Maybe next year...by the time we get moved in to the house in Louisiana it will be too late to do potatoes and most of my summer garden. Maybe I can get a patch dug up for fall and winter. I hope so.
