Russet potatoes that were purchased at the grocery store in the garage. I am
planning to plant the eyes when they develop. As of March 1st, I am not seeing many
eyes. May have to buy russet seed potatoes.
Potatoes
- Don't plant Tomatoes near potatoes. It makes the
potatoes vulnerable to potato blight.
- Interplant watermelons with potatoes. The
Potatoes will appreciate the "living mulch" of the vines.
- Horseradish, planted at the corners of the potato
patch, provides general protection.
- Alyssum makes a perfect living mulch for potatoes.
|
Watermelons
- Watermelons need lots of sun. Be careful not to
shade them with taller plants.
- Interplant watermelons with potatoes. The
Potatoes will appreciate the "living mulch" of the vines.
- Nasturtium helps to deter bugs and beetles.
