Planting Viking Potatos
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?OOVNX 18 April 2013 Planting Viking Potatos
Nineteen Viking tubers were planted at 14 inch centres in the row and the rows are 20 inches apart.Depth is about five inches in a trench, and the tubers are covered with about three inches of soil. Each tuber was marked with a fibre rod. This facilitates digging, and established a focus point when watering using the Magic Water Wand. As the potatoes grow they will be hilled and mulch will be added. Expectation is four to five pounds per plant. These tubers were excellent quality purchased seed.

You do realize when the potatoes are ready the Norsemen will come, take all of them and burn your house down.
