CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@yngmar Very similiar here. I plant shallow in our cold soil. Then do the first hilling when the plants are just emerging. Second hilling is done when the plants are about a foot high or when the weeds need to be controlled. Then we put deep straw between the rows and wait for harvest. Ever since we started using straw cover, I have never needed to water potatoes.

@neonsnake We usually buy whole, large (3-4kg) roasters as they are a better price and I think they have more flavour. But they arrive frozen from the farmer and I get bored with just plain roasting too often.
The spatchcocking method has become my favorite way to prepare these larger birds now. I roast whole for about 45mins to thaw then split and season to finish cooking. Wish I knew this method years earlier.

@yngmar Looks great, that tiller did a nice job. I'm sure your plow will make ideal furrows for potato planting so long as you can control the depth. Do you plan to plant and hill at the same time or do you plant level and then wait and hill once or twice after the crop comes up?

We need more politicians like Wab Kinew

@casseagull We have been with Public Mobile for several years, works everywhere in Canada that Telus works. We have two phones with Canada wide calling/texting and 50G data for 32/mo each. If you don't need much data you can get unlimited calling/text plans that start at about 20 dollars with 1or2G.

@imlikethecheese Waking up and reinforcing our own positive thinking definitely helps set up a better day. Your post reminds me to do so, when it is so easy to do otherwise. Much appreciated.

@imlikethecheese This post brightens my day every time I see it.
Sometimes I boost it, just to test if the fates are paying attention.
