Herb, you are my inspiration to one day do something similar at my
home place.  I keep thinking I'm too old and banged up but I know
you have problems worse than mine.   I'll be watching for a potato
digger for you and maybe one for me too.

Speaking of Daylilies, I'll try to remember to take a picture for you today
of daylilies (at least I think that's what they are) growing "wild" along a
national forest road near me.

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.
