The potatoes are doing very well. When I first thought of growing them, I was nervous since I knew nothing about them. I was sure it would be very difficult. I know this sounds very negative but I really thought this was a crop for only the serious experienced gardener. I did give it my best shot and I am so glad that I did. I am really amazed at how big they have gotten in just one month and how well they are doing. I just hope that they produce potatoes which remains a mystery.
They are currently blossoming and look very healthy. No major pests that I can tell. Some little things that I have noticed were some funny cut marks on the blossom stems which caused me to be concerned a little bit.
Almost like something is deliberately cutting the blossoms off. But the interesting thing is, that I researched it a little bit and for most people they even recommend that you cut the blossoms off to send energy to the tubers and forming the potatoes. I don’t know if this is true or not. But I thought for a minute that if it is true, then maybe this pest is actually doing me a favor by cutting all of the blossoms off for me, lol!!! Wouldn’t that be nature at work for us?! Pretty cool if that was true.
