We hope to have a good selection of fingerlings Saturday if we can get them out of the ground.

After moving the laying hens Wednesday morning, we went to dig potatoes. I ran the cultivating tractor with the potato plow attached down a row ( our rows are 440' long) of Rose Finn Apple fingerling potatoes. The yield was disappointing compared to the Bintje potatoes we have been digging, only a few 5 gal. buckets off the entire row.

Then we went to spot spray the the potatoes with S… Continue
