I have red skinned and youkon gold. In my book it says to peel the potatoes.
Have any of you ever canned potaotes?
Do I have to peel them, we like the peelings on for potato salad and garlic and parsley potatoes.

Found at the co-op, red leaf lettuce, got it in the ground. Also found broccoli going to plant that today, also found cabbage will plant that tomorrow if it is not too wet.
I would try to get it all in today but broke a bone in my foot and having to take it easy.
But it's a start.

Just wondering, those of you who do fall gardens like broccolli, cabbage, etc.
Do you start from seed? If so when do you start your seed for fall planting? In a greenhouse? Or direct sow?
Do you buy plants? If so where do you get the plants?
I have started Kale, Spinach, Mustard, and Turnip...
We dug our potatoes the other day and let them try as it was kind of wet. The question is should I wash off the dirt? or just leave it and wash it off when ready to use the potatoes?
Thanks

Last year I saved all the green paper boxes that our strawberries came in. 2 flats, 16 little green boxes. I saved them to transplant my seedlings in. I told DH "WHY" I was saving them.
Time to take my little seedlings out of their little pot and move them to a bigger pot. Went to the shed to...
This is my cukes, ???? Only 4 of 9 have came up?? I will give them a few more days then replant the empty spaces.
Waiting waiting waiting on the other seeds.
I do see one zuke.
Or that cancel each other out.
My daughter asked me this question and the only thing I could think of is not to grow watermellons and cukes together.
I got a lot of heirloom varieties and know to keep the hot peppers away from the sweet ones.
I think her question was more of is it ok to...
I got my catalog the other and it seems to have everything I wanted to order. Has anyone on here ever ordered from them and if so were you happy with the results.

Does anyone here grow them, if so what kind? are they hybrids? are they easy to grow?
I had the first ones yesterday at a friends house and they were great! (Only ever had the store canned ones and they are yucky) The ones my friends grows are hybrids and he says not that easy to grow.
Any...
Where to plant them for best production?
What kind to get?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I had my first ever FRESH PICKED ones this summer and thought they were fantastic. So will be getting some plants soon.
