We HAVE TO protect our early planted potatoes so we reserve a cold frame for them this time of year. We still have a solid 2 months of frost potential so they really have to be somewhere that we can protect them.Stoney Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436236175480982661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646903100181439923.post-86392210305786626692012-03-25T05:30:23.418-07:002012-03-25T05:30:23.418-07:00Hi Adam,

I’m not doing potatoes this year though I may give in and just grow a few in a pot. Instead I’m planting Oca-a South American tuber which is supposed to taste a bit like a sweet potato-a bit of an experiment so it may be back to potatoes next year!Green Dragonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577026799637153889noreply@blogger.com
