I know I'm late for Death day, but took these pics earlier to share. In the spring, I cut up and planted some red potatoes I had grown last year.
I knew that we really are not supposed to do that, but thought I'd try it. I've only grown potatoes two or three times before, and don't consider myself an expert with them.
(neither will you, when you see my results!)
The first tuber was mushy.
ahem. 'maybe the others will be better', I thought.
No such luck. Everything was a rotten, mushy mess. Maybe it was the re-used potatoes. Maybe there is verticillium wilt, etc built up in the soil. I try to rotate the tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes, but the garden is not that big. Several of my tomatoes are showing evidence of some kind of blight/wilt problems.
yep, you can see the dwindly plant stalks and evidence of disease. I thought they were just done. I guess I'll try something different next year. I do have more potatoes to harvest. I'll let you know how they turn out.
ring out your dead. oh yeah.
