Good luck, WV!

We picked up some mater seedlings: Sungold, Celebrity, Black Prince, and Parks (a variety I never tried before).

The Poblano seeds never sprouted. Waaahhhh....

I believe, but not sure, the Sungold May be a cherry (grape) tomato. Celebrities are an awfully good tomato

No harvest yet here in Zone 7a...except lettuce and parsley. But beans are. Coming up, and tomatoes are blooming.

We could NOT find a Cubanelle or a Carmen or a Gypsy or any of the other sweet peppers that work well. So we tried a sweet banana...hope it works at all.

Rambo, those are some pretty taters! I'll take mine with just butter and lots of salt n peppa.

Been a long time but have you ever tried mulching your Taters with a biodegradable loose material like hay or ETC? I did it way back when and it helped with the rot during wet Spring planting. :dont: Worked especially well with the smaller new tater harvesting. :tup:

I had livestock and extra hay was not a problem either. :dont:
