I hope your hard work pays off. Not so risky with the fifty spuds I put in. Perhaps I can get my wife to help next time? That's quite a lot of potatoes to come out.

I'm still looking for enough containers. I just picked up your website from a blogreader and I'm really enjoying it.  Very nicely designed. Good information.   I find myself coming back all week to see how its going.   Well if you’re just getting yours in the ground I’m going to stop worrying about mine.

That is a lot of work by hand but looked like fun. Did you cover the potatoes by hand too or did you use a harrow? That is a lot of work by hand but looked like fun.

That's a lot of potatoes and onions! For once I'm a bit ahead of you since I put my onions in in early April and my potatoes about 12 days ago. No appearance from the potatoes or the asparagus yet - how long are they supposed to take anyway? I'm an impatient gardener... Wow! That’s a lot of potatoes and onions!
