We have taters to plant!<span style="font-family:arial;">OK, enough with the cold already! We've got a heater in the greenhouse, a heater in the tunnel, and now a heater in the garage. Our propane bills are climbing each day!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">We have to heat the garage now to keep our seed potatoes from freezing. We got them today - all 1,000 pounds of them. We have to keep them cool so they don't sprout, but not frozen because then they won't grow. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Our dream is to build a root cellar underground - to keep potatoes and other winter root crops at the proper humidity and temperature for longevity in storage. Until then, we improvise with the garage. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Wish us luck, and here's hoping the freezing temperatures don't last much longer. </span>DeBerry Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05601899903282805254noreply@blogger.com
