The planting began in earnest this week. Top of the list was the potato sets, 'blight resistant' sarpo mira from Fruit Hill Farms. I had them 'chitting' in egg cartons for a number of weeks. Some sprouted well, some not at all. Anyway, in they went. I dug holes six inches deep; placed the seed potatoes in; piled in the manure; and covered with soil. Voila. I lost count how many I planted, roughly 24 in total.
