I have been planting my potatoes in "towers" the past couple of years. It is just a round of fence wire about 20" in diameter. I layer the potato eyes, straw and dirt. The plants grow out the sides and when the are ready to harvest, I just pull the round off and the potatoes and dirt spread out on the ground ..... no digging and it takes up less space.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-76122773986566636062017-03-07T17:11:23.140-06:002017-03-07T17:11:23.140-06:00I hit a wall my own self this weekend - for differ...I hit a wall my own self this weekend - for different reasons (although I think my reasons had just about as much dirt as yours did - aaachhooo!).

It's always hard to predict where, exactly, because you've been getting more than we have. Still, it's lurking. The garden ought to be happy, if it doesn't get flooded.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-83917181972821351242017-03-06T20:48:27.204-06:002017-03-06T20:48:27.204-06:00You have a lot going on and your garden is looking...You have a lot going on and your garden is looking good. I love to garden but some things will work one year but not the next. It is frustrating but Mother Nature has her ways. Too much rain, too little rain or worst of all, grubs. <br /><br />Enjoy yourself on the couch reading your book. Rainy days give us a break from work.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-15500073855992471692017-03-06T18:55:32.998-06:002017-03-06T18:55:32.998-06:00Sirens going off here.
