One Alaskans greenhouse

[Alasgun]

The potatoes’s were lifted today and will reside in the barn for a few days before going to the cellar. Im happy with the yield too. The Purple Molly’s made a good showing ensuring i’ve got plenty of seed for next year. Due to a poorer year a couple seasons ago; i was concerned. These are called “fingerlings” so when i see large numbers of over 1lb. Spuds coming in it makes me smile. This is the last of it; a few Cukes and Tomatos in the greenhouse and a lot of clean-up now. Thanks Lord for a real fine season!

And with the formalities out of the way i better get back down to the hammer-mill and try to get the remainder of the pile ground today.
I’m a little over half way. In years past each bed got a level 5cu ft wheelbarrow of Compost. This year im using the fish tote which is almost 7cu. Ft, which translates into 3 inches troweled evenly over each bed!

Are the other potatoes actually that pink? Or just the photo makes it look like that?

The strain is Red Norland and they are quite pink due to being freshly washed. Tomorrow it will be a flater red color!

The other root vegetables are ready for-their long winters nap!

About the time the Potato’s move to the cellar i’ll be hanging a couple sides of Yak from the rafters while we cut & wrap this years red meat.
