Fall Potatoes

Our organic potato seed is grown in the high mountains of Colorado by Sheldon. Together with other organic farms in this area, we order a full 22 pallet truck load which arrives in late January. This year I saved some of the seed in our cooler until Mid July. It had sprouted way too much but the crew managed to tease them apart to plant. I am very pleased that so few failed to grow. When it is hot we have to be very careful not to over water them or they will rot in the ground. Harvest is expected at the end of October. A great treat for our fall boxes.
