Potato Experiments

I figured I would try some vertical potato growing experiments. 

These I planted a few weeks ago but it has been very cold.

I will try this way as it will give me movable deep bed options for things like parsnips.

And because I have heard for years that potato cages are great I will also try this.

At least it will piss off a rooster.  Food Not Lawns!

Ramps

                         I have been watching this little patch of ramps for a few years now.


 
This now parking lot was a farm in the '70s and I bet these were moved here years ago. Now this 
is a poor spot and I feel sorry for them. People walk on them, piss on them and the plow truck
 puts a big snow bank here.  

                    
  So I dug three clumps and moved them in to my woods.

 

My hope is that they like their new homes.




   and spread slowly over years.  
 
 
 Perhaps when I am an old man I will pick some, or not I still love the lime green
 on a rainy grey day and that is enough.
