[AT] O.T. - 2015 National Daylily Convention

[Herb Metz]

Grant & Others,
Have Not Found a potato digger yet.  Present problem is lack of time to look 
for one.

In addition to getting our one acre vegetable garden up and operating, we 
must "touch up" our Daylily Garden, which is one of eight 'host gardens' for 
this years annual national convention.  Will have 600 daylily enthusiasts 
(from every state except Alaska) in our garden on June 12 &13. During the 
seventeen years we have lived here, many smaller areas have become 
beautified with various flowers/plantings; these also must be included in 
our touch up.  Daylilies are in Hemerocallis family, so pull up '2015 AHS 
Convention, then click on tour gardens.  Two sons laid the PA. blue stone 
around water fountain and made the tinman and special log seatbench.  We are 
relatively new to daylilies so have had to do some real 'catch up 
scrambling' the past three years.  Just like with antique tractors, we have 
met and established many new friendships with some swell people of similar 
interests.

Sometime in late June or July I hope to have spare time to find a potato 
digger; in addition to digging potatoes, want to dig sweet potatoes and want 
to remove rocks larger than golf balls (have 5' tiller for AC D-14 and 4' 
tiller for AC720 but will not use them until larger rocks have been 
removed).
Any spottings will be appreciated, and pursued.
Herb(GA)

Did you ever find a potato digger? I saw some in PA avail recently, but
cannot loan our 100HP 2 row unit to you across the country.... We dug
our first field on 7May thanks to the warm winter/early spring here in
California. We are digging more each week.
