Today we planted our potatoes for the season: 4 fingerling varieties (Rose Finn Apple, Russian Banana, LaRatte, and French Fingerling), two yellow-fleshed mashing or roasting potatoes (Red Gold and Red Pontiac), and one white-fleshed mashing potato (Caribe). In total, the planting took 8 rows of about 15 feet each, or about 120 row-feet. We'll water them every so often with soaker hoses that we laid down today along the planting rows. By June 1, we'll be able to start digging and enjoying new potatoes. In mid-June, we'll have full-grown Red Pontiacs and Caribes. In early July, the mid-season potatoes (Rose Finn Apple, Red Gold French Fingerlings, and LaRattes) will be ready. And finally, by the end of July, the "late season" Russian Bananas should be ready. However, all of these should keep nicely in the ground and available for us to enjoy, until early winter.
