Brownrexx, those spuds look great!
I grew up helping my dad in the garden, and I seemed to land most often in the potatoes, beans, peppers, or corn. (Now I wonder why my Dad was always in the tomato and melon patches!
) Only ever having grown in the ground, I'm reading your post with great interest; the soil of my childhood was quite acidic, but here it's sweet and we also have EB, so these potatoes may face alot more challenges.
The newly dug potato bed is probably 75' from the nearest tomatoes, and I'm not sure if that will help much but I'm sort of expecting to see EB, if not the first season then the next. But now I'll be watching for rust as well.
We grow organically too - at least I guess that's what it is when you pretty much ignore most problems and pests and "let nature take care of it"!
Just kidding, well I do trim tomato plants and pick off squash bugs
Old School, I did not know that deer would chow down on sunflowers!
