This was my raised bed planted with lettuce and potatoes in mid-March.
And this is the same bed today...
The wire cages have really done a good job of keeping the plants upright. Some of them are already flowering...we can dig up some new potatoes soon :)
Enjoy!

WOW Deb, that's fantastic!! Now I'm really bummed I didn't get mine started and probably won't get to it this year, too much going on right now. I covered it with weed block so it wouldn't just grow weeds. I love seeing the progress, awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWoooohhhh!! :o) Did you keep filling the potato cages w/ soil? AM I right thinking that if you keep filling it the potatoes will grow off the stalk - or am I thinking about something else?
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!!
Cindy, I filled most of the cages about a third up with soil and yes, the potatoes grow on the portion of the plant between the seed potato and the soil surface, so more soil, more potatoes!
