Mandi, do you have to be a member to go by and pick up at HomeSweet Farm? I noticed their market days are closed for the winter.
Thanks,

Those potatoes are beautiful! Do you have experience with the purple-flesh potatoes? Do they taste different? It seems like they would have a lot more nutritional value with all that color.
We are adding some fresh compost this weekend and hope to plant our potatoes ASAP. We had better-than-expected yields last year. about 6-7 pounds of seed potatoes yielded us 30 pounds of harvest!
Ack! I think we're on the same planting schedule (zone 9?), and I haven't started my seeds or anything! Thanks for the reminder to order potatoes!!
great remindner. i have a seed place bookmarked from you to check out for planting this year!

berte- you do not have to be a member! get those potatoes, girl!
rachel- i have had the purple ones. i didn't think they tasted any different. they make for some fun mashed potatoes though!
amanda- yes! we are a zone nine too.
Thanks for posting gardening stuff again this year. The kids are wanting to plant veggies and are planning their own gardens, but I'm SO nervous because I kill everything!
I would be such a sad farmer.
