Guess I’ll never learn, planting @)&$¥>%#*% again.

Hehe. Ya, Im at it again. Planting potato’s !!!!!!!! And ones I don’t like. Freinds wife is always after me to grow potatoes. Irish cobblers. Use to give her some when I was growing them, then I stopped growing them. And she been after me ever since to grow then. Well she’s gunna get a load of them this year. Planted two 60’ rows of them today.

I sure like tractor work and planting, and digging, but can’t stand the potato bugs. Any way, I’m at it again this year.

Used the LGT100 Ford , cultivator, tandem disks, and hiller.

Remember what they say about doing the same thing over again and expecting different results!

Don't like cobblers??? Dang Noel, we can't be friends! LOL. Kidding of course, but WTH!

When they mature, if you don’t eat them when small, when I boil the mature ones, they just go to mush. And any flavour they had is gone, I find.

Your potato bug adventures are way more entertaining than me mowing the same acre week after week, Monday after Monday!

We just don't want to see you driven to "Jumpin's Funny Farm" trying to deal with them---LOL!

Oh and here's my knowledge about potatoes. Some are red skinned, some are white skinned, some are golf-ball size and some are fist size. I love eating them all from mashed, to McDonalds fries---LOL!

Haven't panted ours yet. Going with the Pontiac Reds this year. Have a newlywed grand-daughter who asked if she could plant some stuff in our garden. Should have asked what she intends to plant before I gave the OK. Ended up having to enlarge the garden to make room.
Thinking the end of this week or the first of next week things will go in the ground.
Noel I'm really hoping you get by this summer with just a few Spud bugs.

Thanks Chris.

Do you get the potato bug ? If you do, what do you use to control them.

Never had an issue with them in nj

It's suppose to be 36 here tonight with showers tomorrow. I guess it will be next week before the crops go in the ground. I know of one person who had their whole garden in and up and it all froze last week.

Did you ever try a hand held vacuum?
