I'm So Excited About Potatoes!
I'm so excited about Potatoes right now! To make a long story short, I planted some potato sprouts for the first time ever and one of them just grew a new leaf. I don't know anything about growing potatoes, so this is very neat for me.

lol. I know what you mean. Sometimes grass, patio, and driveway seem like a waste of space.Dixana wrote:I know it's not the same, but I don't think the hubby would be very happy if I tore out the whole back yard so I could grow everything
I'm sure they're there for a reason, though. Sometimes I just forget what it is.
I wasn't insinuating anything. Just that less yard work is generally better. And I do all the yard and garden work at my house, so I'd be happy to give up some yard to the garden.Dixana wrote:What cuz he's the guys he does the yard work? he drives truck all week so I get to do all that... as to the yard he's more concerned for having a place for the dog and toddler to run, not to mention the firepit for family gatherings.
Firepits are awesome!
LOL you might wanna reconsider coming to my house tonight unless 34 degrees and windy as heck sounds good to you!
My hubby wants to take the boat out fishing amd even now in the warmest part of the day it's only like 55!! We go out on the lake I'll either throw up from the rough water or freeze to death....or maybe both

OK then, bring your whole crew to my house. I just built a new deck in the backyard and it's gonna be in the mid-60's and clear tonight in TX. We can come to your place in Aug when it's still in the 90's at midnight down here.Dixana wrote:LOL you might wanna reconsider coming to my house tonight unless 34 degrees and windy as heck sounds good to you!

I'll call tedln to join us. He lives near here too. We can all talk about fishing over a few Shiner Bocks. Just don't laugh at my little garden.

Dixana, I see your from zone 4, what state? As I always have trouble with the wind here in South Dakota when its time to harden off the plants. For the last 5 days or so that I've checked its been everywhere from 18mph to 32 gusting to 40. Crazy, the temps are nice though 60's and 70's.
Anyway, what potatoes is everyone planting? I'm still waiting to get my out...
