Diggin' For Yukon Gold !

Lucky Me ! On Nov. 19 I had a helper again !

We discovered an interseting thing; the potato crop was spectacular in the first half of the bed where the sun shone longer each day, but only 'fair' in the rest of the bed. Here my son is digging up the shady section.

In the wetter soil which appeared in the shadow of the fence, the crop yielded only about half of the potatoes as the 'sunny' section. The first half of the bed we harvested in early October (shown below) had about twice the yield.
