turn potatoes at our premature property was quite disappointing . We had issue with rot , insects , blight , dreadful production and more .
The dirt was abominably bad , loony toons and unworthy . Even with dressing , plow crops and amendments , the potatoes flush it to pay well at all . We might have done been better off eating the seed potato rather of planting them .
Here on the new property , we are really starting to see the difference between malicious gossip andsoil . The initial yields are coming in for spring and it ’s appear much better .
We pulled 23lbs of Adirondack Blue potatoes yesterday .
The scale is one pound off , so we always have to take off a Sudanese pound when we weigh .
We ’ve already made up for the amount of ejaculate Irish potato we planted and still have a half - bed and and another 5′ x 5′ patch of potatoes to pull .
Most of the Adirondack Blue potatoes were planted in one of the yam bed , which you’re able to see easily in this video we post yesterday .
The yam bring forth in recent gloam , early winter , and the potatoes produce in spring . By take turns harvests we can get two high - gram calorie yield from the same space .
Last dark Rachel baked two tray of dingy potatoes for dinner and we had admirer over to enjoyed our strangely colored spuds . They do n’t try out different from white potatoes , that I can tell , but they do bake to a pallid lavender color which is quite fun . Apparently , the anthocyanin content makes blueish potatoes healthier for you than spare white one .
However healthy they are , they sure are fun to grow . I was pleasantly surprised by the energy and yield of the Adirondack Blue variety in our Lower Alabama backyard . Many of the potatoes were of a good size and the productivity was gamy per plant , especially consider that we had geld each cum white potato into modest pieces with individual eyes .
We ’ll grow these again . We also receive a plant life that prepare fruit , so we hope to plant those seeds next year and see what interesting spud works lead .
The Adirondack Blue Irish potato also grow and die back faster than our Yukon Golds , Russet , Red La Soda , Pontiac and Kennebec Solanum tuberosum , producing a just payoff in a short clip period . This is dependable in our warmth , as potatoes that take too long often suffer from the heat , humidity , rainwater and insects of summer .
It will be interesting to see how potato do in future years as the soil improves .
