Well we finished harvesting our potato crop about a week ago. Now they are sitting in a dark barn for a few days before they get sold. Gotta get them ready for public life.Kind of waiting for the price to go up, too.
Meanwhile, we decided to stick cabbage where the prior squash crop occupied the ground up until May.
These plants are about 12 weeks old and are starting to form heads already. Guess I'll be making a lot of cole slaw and stuffed cabbage rolls.... That's about all I know how to make with cabbage.
Hopefully by the time they are mature, prices will be high and we may be able to bring home a few extra pesos from the bottom line.
Not to common an occurrence when you figure the cost, water, fertilizer, labor to weed, on and on....
If I could only figure out how to grow money........
In the location on the top of the property where the potatoes were, we need to figure out what to grow next season. You have to wait two to three years after each potato harvest before you stick the little tubers in the ground again.
Always on the look for something that will survive the climate up here.....last night it only dropped down to about 40. Kind of a warm spell.......
Beautiful day today, mi
d 70's nice and pleasant while you are in the sun, in the afternoon.If the locals only ate more designer lettuces....we'd do that.
We grow lettuce and arugula for our own use and they think they're weeds.......
Some things you just can't change.
