Re[4]: potatoes


Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the info. Maybe someday I'll try potatoes. So. Cal. has been nice 
this winter as long as you don't live on stilts. I like all the rain, but the 
weeds sure grow fast. I haven't been able to work in the garden at all. The one 
dry weekend we had last weekend, I had to work both days. Ah, well.

Hello Shawn,
        Organically grown in my book means no chemicals used. The liberal
organic growers might give the plants a dose or two of 10-20-10.  The 
potatoes that you mentioned are probably not treated.  I was planting old 
Idaho baking potatoes purchased at a major grocery store chain such as 
Safeway, Consumers, I.G.A., Harps, or Walmart. 
        It must be nice to be living in 9b zone.  In zone 5b-6 we had no
winter worth mentioning.  Now that it's supposed to be spring, the night 
time temperatures are dropping into the single digits.  What a pit!
