Well, you potato growers should be thinking about giving your potatoes in the garden a boost of nitrogen fertilizer to help them get through the rest of the season in good shape. A couple of heaping tablespoons of granular nitrogen applied per 10 foot of row will really be beneficial to the plants.
Be careful not to get the granulated fertilizer on the leaves, because it will burn the leaves when it gets wet. Spread it underneath the plants at the top of the row. A good time to add this additional fertilizer is when the plants are fully blossomed. It goes with- out saying too that those spuds need lots of water, especially at blossoming.
Ah man, nothing beats new potatoes and peas fresh from the garden in my book. It rates right up there with the first few ears of sweet corn fresh out of the patch.
