Gardening Notes

Zone 8A as of 2023 (global warming?!)

Potatoes

  • Don't dig too deep or they'll rot. 4 inches deep maybe, 12 inches apart.
  • Trench method - dig a line, cover 'em up. Don't need to hill additional dirt on top.
  • Ruth Stout method - Just put em on the floor, no digging, then cover them with straw/dry mulch. Very clean cuz you don't have to dig up dirt.
  • Grows very well under frost cover, grows faster
