It is just so wrong. Pretty sure these things could scare small children. Haha

And not-so-young while still not exactly old adults, too!!

What do you mean, #2 rated? Stuff doesn't show up on the mobile version I guess.

I think it means that your post has the most "likes"? Not totally sure, I just happened to be on the homepage and out of the corner of my eye, I saw your screen name. So, obviously I looked. LOL

I had never even noticed that little section before. Maybe it generates randomly(?). Anywho, if it does mean that your post was well liked enough that it popped up there, it's pretty cool. I'm guessing it doesn't show up on mobile version. I notice a lot of stuff doesn't.

Huh. Yeah, pretty neat

You know, now that you mention it.. We no longer get "ovation notifications" anymore either I don't think. I used to get the emails every time and I had forgotten we even got them.

I use the black mesh from TSC 30 bucks for 100ft,

So you potato growers give the 411 cause mine always fail and I didn't fool with it this year

I've never tried potatoes until this year. It was an "experiment" to work out the kinks, in a way. I planted first ones in a dollar tree laundry basket lined with kraft paper(had it on hand) and in that one, I got 5 smallish gold potatoes. They were at the very bottom, so as per GAM's advice on what to do and not do, I basically just grew dirt the rest of the way, because I was adding dirt too soon. Pretty sure I did the same in the plastic tote container too, but that was the container that suddenly had a crust of white powdery mold covering the surface of the soil. Which I removed, but now don't know what to use to kill/prevent it without making the taters at the bottom inedible, or that will alter the taste. I've seen everything from using cinnamon to hydrogen peroxide, but that's in dealing with house plants. If anyone has any advice on that, I'm all ears.

Next year, I will adjust accordingly and see what happens. For starters, I will use a plastic trash can instead and wait a little longer before adding soil.

I will be working an auction at Red Baron Antiques on Wednesday night. One of the "regulars" that attends has a farm in Vidalia(I think it's his). He says they grow a few acres(?) of taters every year. They plant them, till them all up at end of season and a bunch of folks come and gather up all the ones that aren't torn up. The ones that are, are left in the ground to re-seed themselves for the next. When I see him Wednesday, you know I'll be asking him all sorts of questions. So if you want me to ask him anything for you, I'll be happy to. He's one of the more down to earth folks there and is kind to the "common folk". The rest, assume their Black American Express cards mean their poo don't stink. LOL

hmm... I have mine set to not receive any email notifications. I'm that girl who NEVER checks email and it's pretty normal for there to be 3K of them sitting in my box. At which point, I just bulk delete them all.

Awe! My babies! I was wondering why nobody was getting any!!! So the question is, do they have Beaus feathered feet or did my new LA roo get in there and they would not have feathered legs? They could also be frizzles and they could lay colored eggs!
