Planting potatoes

























Picked an early potato, "Satina", in hopes it will produce in our mild, sometimes damp climate. Chitted the potatoes on a windowsill for about 2 weeks, then planted them. Probably planted them to late - May 1st. Filled containers with 4-5 inches of sheep manure and mixed in some all-purpose fertilizer. Placed the potatoes, then covered with 2-3 more inches of sheep manure and watered. I will hill up the potatoes when the shoots have shown quite a bit of growth.
