Still going despite a brutal growing season


Started off the season with about 20 tubers coming up in March with some flowering in May & June. Got a late start planting the rest, some as late as end of June, so the big plants crowded out the smaller ones. BRUTAL September with high temps that resulted in massive powdery mildew, which I’ve never really had a problem with in the past. Then 2 different storms pushing plants down even though they were supported in the corral method of staking. Lots of lessons learned this season!
