We started seeds, late winter before last, planted last spring, might be able to harvest this year, but definitely next year.


We planted a bed in 2001 using crowns.
2 Jersey varieties, purple, and Martha Washington.
80 plants in a 2 row 80' bed.

It's starting to seriously decline. The Jersey's are all male and dont reproduce. The Martha W. hasn't really thrived.

We used to pick it every 2-3 days and 3/4 fill a Wal-Mart bag, now a good
picking gets 2-3 pounds.

Hate it canned, don't like it froze, we used to give away piles of it.
Now, we have folks asking, and not much to share. From late April to
June, we all have the stinky pee!
