Potatoes Waiting for a Ride
Our potato seed, along with many other organic farms in our area, is at Rockey Farms in Colorado where it was grown, waiting for a trucker to bring them here. They gather all the orders, and one large truck delivers everyone's organic potato seed. This has worked very well for many years now. We are hoping to get the seed by the end of the week so that we can start planting right away. Due to winter rains, we have not been able to plant this early for many years. When we receive them, we will sort the seeds into trays and leave them in the greenhouse exposed to light so that they stat to grow (the opposite of what you want with potatoes in your kitchen). We then plant them as soon as the weather allows. Planting will give us an earlier crop and save time.
