Last week was rainy, but Saturday sun was shining, so I went to harvest potatoes. One advantage of the plastic is that the soil underneath does not get soggy, even it has been raining. Potatoes in this patch had grown well despite the summer was dry and I did not water them at all. I did not get such monster size spuds like year ago, but still there were quite large ones.
We have still three similar rows in an other field. Those were planted later and are a bit behind in growth, so I am hoping that the killing frost does not come in end of this week like predicted. Anyway we got enough potatoes harvested already, so it is not a problem, if the later ones, do not produce so well.
