Looks like your garden is doing well! That’s smart, too, using the more nitrogen-rich rainwater for watering.

Up here at over 9,000 feet on the Rockies, Yukon Gold potatoes did really well except for one thing: tuberworms. I found out that they’re brought by moths. They were terrible and bored through a lot of the potatoes. Hopefully, we’ll have better soil and weather before long. :-)

Never heard of those worms before. This is the first year for Yukon gold, so I hope I get a bunch.

I have some green beans inter planted with butte potatoes too, and a few Dakota pearls that came up from last year’s patch.

Hubby has gobs of potatoes, but I don’t know what kind. I may have to can some make some hash browns for the freezer.
We will likely have more than we can store.
