Any Home Bakers Here?

I’ve read no more than 1/3 of the plant and in Germany there is a rule don’t pick rhubarb after June 24th, or else you will stress the plant too much, maybe your climate is different and you can pick it longer ?!

Hey Home Bakers. Two days rain sure helped.

Why would you cover the leaves of your potato plants?

Apparently because the covered up part will produce more potatoes. I covered them a week ago and they are now even bigger than they were then. Time to cover up again.

I never cover leaves on a potato plant. They are the part gathering in the sunlight and doing the photosynthesis. They do not produce the tubers. We always dragged the dirt up to the plants so they had a soft soil to grow the tubers in. It also buried the weeds that were competing with the potato plants.

The best I did was 200 lbs. of potatoes from 2 lbs. of potatoes planted.
