What potatoes grow well in oklahoma, anything besides new potatoes?

I just plant the ones from the grocery store that I forget under teh cabinet.. They do real well and have for years. Just make sure you plant them in soft soil.

morning All, first cup of coffee down at least one more full pot to go after this so I can function better.

Most potatoes should be fine-- I am putting mine in partial shade this yr in hopes of not growing pre- baked potatoes.

Coral I say fabric is fabric. I know cheaper store bought quilts are not quality fabric, but I would try it for the backing.

Birds all have fresh water & I promised them today would be warmer & they could play in the yard this afternoon. I just finished sanitizing seed trays -- just waiting on them to dry so I can play in the dirt. Later today going to paint the wall in our room DH had to take apart (to install the generator transfer switch). Then get the furniture back in place.

Thanks. I called last month about the Newcastle show, was going to enter some birds. After all it is an all game bantam show correct. I was told that Asil Bantams wasnt allowed. Heck they are the origanal game breed??? Oh well.

Hmmm good point. The problem is I like him to drive or at least be with me if I'm going to unfamiliar places. He rarely says no to me though. LOL

There's got to be chickens someplace close by or order some?

Interesting, I'd seen that the ones we eat from the grocery store had been sprayed with a growth inhibitor and never to use them?

Correct, Andy Barnes hosts the show he is the president of teh Great Plains Game bantam club. The show is restricted to game bantams but that is further limited to Cornish, Modern, American and OE. I have never seen an american game there just cornish modern and oe. We will be taking a few Opal and columbian oe.

Good morning Okies. looks a little foggy and a lot frosty out this morning. But weatherwunderground said was going to be 50 here today.

Wont be to long and it will be muddy sloppy out. We got about 5 inch of snow and it was wet, so we at least got some good moisture. The girls enjoyed it after I did a little snow removeal for them. They followed me the whole time like they expected me to uncover some sort of buried treasure.

They work well for me, let them start to grow some eyes, cut them in half and place them cut side down about 6 inches under teh ground. In about 3-4 weeks a plant will begin to emerge. To maximize production you can use tires, or I cut 5 Gallon bucket bottoms out and place over the plant. Then as teh plant grows I add soft soil to the bucket
