The ides of April - Family Woodworking

Looking good, glad to see that greenhouse is rocking a rolling!

You got a good start on the tomatos for sure. Gotta be looking forward to that!!

Re: potatoes

Once they are full sized there ain't much difference, except as you noted by variety. If you get a change try some of the little fingerlings, cut into ~1" long chunks, tossed with olive oil and salt then broiled they're about the best potatos ever.

Home grown spuds of the more generic sort are worth it for new potatos, just reach under the plant and steal a few to eat with spring peas (scalloped or "irish boiled" - http://www.foodista.com/recipe/YCYNS...d-red-potatoes - they lightly steam when put back on after draining and get a perfect texture). Those definitely ARE better than the store variety. You can't buy real new potatos (at least not that I've ever seen).

Its also easy to grow a lot more food than you'd reckon with ~40' of potato hills.

One trick there you might want to try is "straw layered hilling", put down a layer of straw along the spuds, pile some dirt on it.. repeat throughout the year. Makes it a lot easier to pull the taters out at the end than straight dirt and the straw mulches down nicely over winter.

While we're here - don't forget Potato Onions, that way if they grow you can claim to have gotten either potatos or onions depending on who asks
