I purchased #Yukon #Gold seed #potatoes from an eBay seller in #Pennsylvania so these will be going into the #soil tomorrow. I'm growing them in #potato grow bags on the side patio of the front yard #garden . I grew up on garden grown potatoes so I am excited to add them to my outdoor #gardening experience. #gardeningmastodon

Couple of people have asked about growing potatoes in general and in pots. I'm not an expert, so I always point out that many suppliers have reference articles on potatoes.
So here are my chitted potatoes ready for planting. You'll see the supplier name on the tag, but probably there are dozens of suppliers. I'm growing Yukon Gold and Red Norland #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds #potato
Sipping coffee, learning about...
But wait, there’s more! The forecast destructive winds were not overnight, but this afternoon, so I had another go. And indeed, Vesta has moved!
I will do a blink gif later today, so you too can discover minor planets like it’s 1807.
My first on-purpose asteroid. This is 4 Vesta.
It’s about 520 kilometers across and (at the moment) about 180 million kilometers away. It orbits the sun in the inner asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
It is not long past opposition, so currently still relatively close to us and therefore relatively bright.
In 2011 it was visited by the Dawn spacecraft, which took slightly better images than the one I did - https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/target/vesta
60 x 60 seconds with the overnight.
People select hash browns or home fries when having breakfast at a local diner. But I posit a valid and defensible alternative: Waffle Fries. Still fried, still potato, but the texture and topology are TARDIS magic for ketchup! #breakfast #diner #fried #food #potato
Chopped some wood today, because that's a different muscle group from the sore one.
Then some pointless mowing, because I still need more mulch to cover the former mud pit. And I could barely see my little fir trees anymore.
Also mowed around the no dig beds for weed control. That works well.
First potatoes in the dig beds have sprouted, along with loads of weeds. Seems at least some survived the night frosts and drought and now that it rained (a lot) they got going.
What didn't work was mulching the stupid virginia creeper infestation in the orchard, because its creepers grow just below the surface. Need a flail mower for that or something.
