    Lazy Dog Farm,
    I know the secret as to why your raised bed did so well. And if I'm right maybe you can send me some of them taters you planted for my raised garden bed over here 😁
    *The secret is that one beautiful lady helped you to plant those raised garden beds and the sweetest little angel gave it a kiss.
    Congratulations on the baby by the way. She is beautiful.
    Much love from Missouri.
    P.S. just kidding on the potatoes but if your feeling generous in truth I wouldn't mind. Lol
    Love to your family.

    Other people always laughed at us! Till they tasted our potatoes! At digging! Always keep & separate from others! The size of a marble to size of #2 pencil eraser! Washed/put in sauce pan/ water/ salt & pepper/ cooked/ plated & real butter! AWESOMELY good! Right after digging! ❤

      A great harvest buddy !!! I will definitely try some of those rose gold next year. I got a late start with my taters this year. As hot as it’s been here in Louisiana, I just dug my Baltic rose Saturday and had an 11 X multiple. So I was extremely excited. I scratched under a couple plants to get enough taters to go with my snap beans. Not bragging but them there were some good vittles a couple weeks ago !

    37 to one is astonishing for potatoes. 15-25 per pounds is what my grandfather did after years of effort. And he depended on his crops for survival. Nothing in raised beds though where you have more controls over the environment. Thanks Travis always good stuff.

    My wife showed me your photo on Facebook of the hail down there. We had hail last month and had some big holes in my cabbage leaves. The biggest damage was on the fruit of my apple and pear trees. I hope the damage is minimal.
    I vine killed(desiccated) my Yukon Gold and most of my Asterix potatoes last week. I generally dig mine 12-21 days after vine kill. My Kennebec vines are still healthy and green, I'll vine kill them next week.
    This has been one of the coolest Springs I can remember. We still haven't seen 90 degrees and the nights have been in the 50's to low 60's. Perfect tater growing weather. It's been good for cabbage too.
    I knocked over my onion tops this morning. I'll leave them to dry for a week or more if the weather is relatively dry. Then I pull them up, trim to tops and roots off and let them get good and dry under a shed. I have some good ones for the varieties I grow, about a pound and a half maximum size.

    Gold star for Travis. First, it's a year's supply of sweet corn out of a little postage stamp patch pf corn. And now it's a back breaking yield of beautiful potatoes out an area no bigger than a bathtub. I do believe you could plant a popsicle stick and grow a nice shade tree. I'm trying four varieties of Prairie Wood seeds and growing them in compost in seven-gallon containers, British style. Early days, but I hope for at least 12/1 return. You've got the bar set pretty high.

Can't wait until my potatoes, including Baltic Rose and Caribe are ready because my little man is going to help. He might not know it yet. A little later planting this year, first week of April. Had to fight off the bugs, a couple three doses of Captain Jack's did the trick.

    I’m growing potatoes for my first time this year in containers and I planted 4 different varieties but they are not ready to harvest yet. I may have started them a little late because I waited until after the last frost date (May 5th zone 7B) here in Virginia just over the state line from NC. The plants are looking great and I haven’t had any pest damage. I have not fertilized but I used 100% compost with lots of cow, horse, and chicken manure composted in. I hope I get a good harvest like you did in your raised bed! 😊
