[AT] garden question; potatoes

[David Bruce]

For us it is either in winter wheat stubble as Charlie suggests or a few 
times planted earlier in a field that was allowed to lay fallow over the 
winter.  Winter wheat harvest started here last weekend and now that we 
should have a couple dry days I'm sure it will continue followed quickly 
by planting soybeans.  Things in general running a bit later this year.

A few years ago I was working in a customer's textile plant just outside 
Dillard, GA.  The valley between that operation and the Dillard House (a 
tourist attraction with a huge and great country breakfast) was planted 
with cabbage for fall harvest.  One trip I was there about a week after 
the harvest when the remains were beginning to rot.  Quite a stench. 
Needless to say we did not work with that mill during leaf peeper season.
