I've been pondering a gardening blog for some time. In part so I can share my trials, successes, and learning experiences (because nothing is a mistake). But also so I have a way of keeping my own record of what I've done when.
Let's face it, while keeping a calendar diary is helpful, it's also a little boring. At least with a blog you can post pictures, link to cool website finds, and share the adventure with other gardeners.
So, here's today's "What I did in the garden" post:
First potatoes of the season. I tried Yukon Golds this year. I bought a package of seed potatoes at the local big box home improvement store. The plants are blooming for a second time this year, which I didn't think was possible. I know potatoes start to develop the tubers about the time of flowering. Curiosity got to me about how big they really are, so I dug up one plant at the end of the row. Because of the size, locals might refer to these "new potatoes" even though most people think new potatoes have red skins. That's a discussion for another day. Ideally I'd like to get them to boil/bake size. I'll try to contain my enthusiasm for a few more weeks.
