I planted some Yukon Gold taters last summer , and they didn't do diddly - maybe because I planted them kinda late . The rows are well defined , so I can avoid that area when I till new ground for next year - the question is should I leave them and hope for new growth and a crop next year or just till 'em under and try again ? I did dig a little and found a few very small potatoes , but nothing I felt was worth harvesting . Also , is this the right time to get garlic in the ground for next year ? As much as we like it I'd like to have some out in the garden , and try out using the scapes . I'll be expanding the garden space next year down hill some more . The soil further from the edge of the woods seems much more fertile if this year's results are any indication , and while I'll lose part of the blackberry patch I feel the trade off is worth it - those berries grow wild all over the place up here and they're a bi**h to pick .
