potato patch pics
The garden looking across Tom and I's patch toward my "standard potato" patch in the background.Most of the flowers are in the same stage as this red ox bud.But her is a butte, a 22589 purple, and a 320390 purple' and a THUNDER ROSE and THUNDER CLOUDS in the rear. Most everthing that will bloom looks like it will be doing so in the next few days.....

Thanks Richard, my ground was infested with quack grass and horse tail, so it's been alot of hand labor.I found out from Tom today that many of the plants are far from being done growing, and that some will become monstrous!

Nice looking area. I've tried to take pictures of my patch but it just looks like a green blob with a wall of green stuff behind it.

A little green for the winter people. I stood on tippy toes on a rock to get a decent angle. The ugly lines hold up deer netting. I think it is around 60 row feet of potatoes.
