Planting potatoes

Today's a magnificent day: 30˚c (86˚F), sunny, somewhat windy (no mosquitoes!), so it's perfect for planting!

Lorraine, my friendly neighbour, who has access to a reliable potato tubers pusher, has been so kind as to give me, again this year, a good amount of Ratte potato tubers.

These small oblong potatoes, of french or danish origin, are absolutely delicious.

They are, with their unique nutty taste, a favorite of french chefs.

I plant them about 18 inches apart, with bone meal and wood ashes.

For some facts about potatoes.
