It does look like a heart shape. Year before last we a big red potato that kind of resembled a cow's head.

No, that's an arrowhead. Is your garden planted on Indian burial grounds?

How close were your reds and whites planted? We planted both beside each other one year and they all came out red.

Weird.... People have always said irises do that and I'd poopoo it. But I was given around 10 different colored ones for a house warming gift 30 years ago. They grew their designated colors for a few years and one year they were all purple and have been ever since....Craig Miller":2oin12vs said:
I planted a bag of seed red potatoes very late in the season...Atwoods had them on sale for 10 cents and I figured, what the heck.. Best crop of red potatoes I've ever had. I did almost nothing to prepare them...just made a trench, cut them as I dropped them in, covered and plied on pine straw. I know I've spent way more time and money in getting them in the ground on the exact day and got a crap crop......go figure

I'm curious about the pine straw too because I was considering covering my garden with it

Tha5s what I wanted it for. Have you had any trouble with anything not growing under it
A lot of people think it changes the acidity, but it doesn't. Some think the needles have properties that keeps seeds from germinating, but it doesn't. Someone said, Then how come nothing grows under pines. I went out and took pictures of where some sun was getting through and all the stuff that sprouts under them. No sun gets through thick pines.....its no sun, not the needles altering the germination...Craig Miller":3earqopn said:
I planted some fall corn seeds and stacked about 6 inches of needles over it. The corn had no problem growing through that thick of mat. BUT, it does give doodle bugs shelter and they wiped out my whole crop. I was more worried about weeds and didn't think about the doodle bugs... That is the only drawback I've had using them, but its only a problem if its really wet. Next time i'll part the needles and once the weather dries off then pack the needles back on....In the fall I cover my whole garden in a thick mat and when its time to plant I just part the needles and plant. so so easy. I really hate weeding.
