Alaska Sweetheart Potato

Post: # 264000Post Durgan »

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?BXLCN 12 July 2012 Alaska Sweetheart Potato
One plant was dug to determine growth and to ascertain moisture level.This is about 90 days growth, planted on 14 April 2012.The Alaska potato has a red tinged flesh, which is retained after cooking, and is medium size at maturity.The moisture level is ideal, since I marked each seed potato at planting with a foot long stake, and watered about four days ago with the Magic Watering Wand. I simply insert the wand alongside the stake and flood the root area. There are about 70 plants in the patch so the time expended is minimal.
