After last year's drought, I'm grateful for the rain we've gotten this year. It didn't matter how much I watered, it wasn't enough. With potatoes out, I should be on track to start peas and okra before Memorial Day. :nana: Eta: we also picked out first handful of snap beans yesterday. Bells a...

Went ahead and dug up potatoes today...not risking it with next week's rain. 75 plants yielded 122 lbs. Average yield of 1 lb. 10 oz. per plant. Really solid haul. I am a firm believer is soil testing and amendments now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7PdvxBs.jpeg[/img] Found this guy...1 lb. 5 oz....

Anyone know of a reasonably accurate rainfall projection site? Im trying to decide if I'm digging up potatoes on Sunday. I'd like a few different resources to monitor next week's projections... don't want them to rot in the ground after nearly 80 days....

[quote]PillageUrVillage[/quote]How have you managed your romas in the past? I read don't worry with pruning or suckering. But it turns them into little dense bushes. And how long do they dump fruit? I've not messed with determinates until this year. ...

Dug up the first potato plant, found this guy [img]https://i.imgur.com/3vdzm30.jpeg[/img] Almost a pound on its own. Pulled 2 1/2 lbs. off. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come. ...

Also, earlier in the thread I was asked about my thoughts on soil testing and the effectiveness of amendments. I can say without question the amendments have drastically improved my garden this year. I'm a firm believer in getting soil tested after this year. ...
