I agree I’ve done that with beets before. The second planting does better because some of the first seeds never sprouted because of it being too cold or rotted. Chris did you get any snow last night. I seen where some of the Dakotas got snow.Around here it seems if I plant something in the first of April and do a second planting of the same thing the first of May, they almost start producing at the same time. I've run into this numerous times with Sweetcorn.
Nothing here but the darned win just won't lay down. I've lived here almost 50 years and have never seen anything like this spring. Winds of 20 to 30 mph almost daily. I'm showing 23 to 29 mph right now. At least it's 51 degs.Chris did you get any snow last night. I seen where some of the Dakotas got snow.
If I stagger my plantings later in the summer they will produce at staggered times. No more early stuff for me. Also the potatoes seem to keep over the winter better if they are planted later.They all seem to be ready, all at about the same time.
Yes you did. Am I remembering correctly that there were a lot less bugs at your neighbors?Jumpins, I use to plant a lot of potatoes out there.
I think out of all the veggies we have started the peppers are the slowest to growMy tators & peas are coming up good, first planting of green beans, not so good. Soil temperature is just too low, 50* @ 4" depth!
Potted tomatoes are in, but garden tomatoes & peppers are still waiting to be set out!
No way Noel last year was our best year out here in the 7 years we’ve been here. My problem is the size. I had 8-10 tubers on each plant most were golf ball size. I couldn’t fertilize because no one had any. I’m thinking that’s why. I did water good also.So Jim, will you get about 300 lbs or so out of the potatoes you planted ?
