This year I'm trying something new. I planted potatoes in our garden up in Maine. We don't use that garden, because there are too many deer, but I found out they don't eat potatoes! So, we're giving it a shot. If it works out I'll be a Maine Potato Farmer every year, I love fresh, homegrown potatoes! I've got an assortment up there, reds, blues, Yukon Gold, Swedish Peanut, I can't remember them all. Down here I've got Banana Fingerlings, French Fingerlings (I love fingerling taters, they are delish!) and Yukon Golds. Hopefully next season I won't take up garden space here with potatoes.
Here's a shot of the garden, and me planting the potatoes:
Greg keeps the garden open, so I might as well use it as much as I can without feeding the deer! I've also brought up some plants I know the bees will enjoy. I planted Datura and Borage in the garden, too, we'll see if they end up as deer salad. I think the Datura is safe, but that Borage tastes like cucumber......
