This weekend I put in the first of my crops. 50 lbs. of Yukon Gold and 50 lbs. of Red Norland potatoes that my wife ordered from Johhny's Selected Seeds. I picked up a Middle Buster last week at Tractor Supply so it was quick work to lay off some rows for the potatoes with the tractor. The hard part was cutting the seed potatoes into pieces and spacing them out in the rows. After that I pulled some soil back over them with a hoe. All in all I have ~ 700 ft.rows of potatoes. If the weather cooperates and we get enough rain I should be looking at harvesting somewhere around 1000 lbs. of potatoes. Guess who has already been tasked with building a potato bin for the basement?
