[AT] garden question; potatoes

[charlie hill]

That's interesting John.  We never see that happen here, 140 miles or so 
from you.
I believe over in the mid-west folks plant soybeans early before they plant 
corn.
Here we plant them usually in the stubble of winter wheat sometime in late 
may
or up to about June 20th.  I guess you plant about the same as us.

I can relate to that one, often our late soybeans are barely starting to
turn yellow when a killing frost comes, stinks pretty bad the next couple
days, but probably no where near as bad as what you experienced.

Dave, that brings back sad but funny memories of my youth.  After the barn
burned, we rented around 40 acres to a local truck farmer. He planted
radishes and onions for an early crop, and then planted the whole farm in
califlower.  Everything was fine until Indian Summer.  Much of the
califlower was still in the field when a freeze hit the area.  A few days
later, summer was back, and the whole farm reeked of rotting califlower.
Not pleasant.

Larry
