KP in the Army and in the summer camp involves peeling potatoes - even for a family dinner. Choice of potato is golden Sunday, maybe Yukon Gold potatoes. Unfortunately, as I peeled, I had to take a deep incision from the majority of each potato. The reason is that green skin.
Compost I would appreciate it, but economically, it was a big waste must be cut so much away. When I grow potatoes, I learned to not allow them to poke out of the ground into the light. They remain closed to prevent the green skin that creates a toxic alkaloid.
For the first time, I grew potatoes at home in Florida. I have six potatoes begin to grow in the pantry, so I decided I would plant them in a hole, allowing the soil to the side. Two days later I discovered that some of the night creatures have been unearthed them. They are scattered throughout the park and even to the side of the house where I found them in a few weeks after they grow up. If they survive, the potatoes would not have won any prizes, as a naughty child did not put them in a hole and covered them.
Now the challenge is to make them grow, both covered and moist. When I gardened in New Jersey, I use a straw that can not be used for horses or cows at a cost of $ 1 per pack to the top layer of potatoes as they grow. Here, I plan to pull ground and mulched leaves gradually in the leaves. Keeping these tubers buried. Potato plant will have a hill nearby.
"Normal" way of planting potatoes is to use healthy seed potatoes and place the cut pieces with your eyes about a foot apart in a trench in 6-inch. Cultivate the land with one foot deep 10-0-10.
I hand pick them, but it was not for the queasy.
The flowers on potato plants a small but attractive, and the flower is a sign that potato growing business has reached its peak. The next step in the potato vine growing is going to lose their hard, failed and turned into brown, which is the time to carefully use a fork and dig in the bottom of the hill and remove tubers.
When the potatoes have been grown in the straw, someone could steal the young potatoes to boil and serve with butter and parsley.
Potatoes have a lot of good vitamins and taste great when served with herbs, like basil, chives, dill, fennel, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, and thyme. Note the butter and sour cream is not recommended. That's when counting calories increases.
Remember when preparing potatoes for cutting green skin. Shop the store needs to be made aware that even the fluorescent lights can cause problems greening. Mashed potatoes are delicious.
