Getting ready to plant my cool weather crops this week. Kale, Lettuce, Spinach, arugula, onions, some herbs.
I am also very excited to try my hand at potatoes again this year. I do not have lots of space so I am going to give the vertical growing a shot. You plant the potatoes in the ground and as they grow up you place boxes around them and backfill the boxes with mulch of some kind. I plan on using shredded straw. I guess it tricks the potato into thinking that part of the stem is still underground and it will grow potatoes. I did it once and I was very impressed with the amount of potatoes I got from it. There are tons of websites that describe this method online.
Happy Spring Y'all!
