I planted in February and they are from 1" to 2" high. It takes about 4 weeks after planting to get this much growth. Planted in west central Louisiana on Toledo Bend.

Can't get a plow in the ground yet. Plant potatoes?

Well last week I tilled up the area for them and then a couple days ago put down a good thick layer of old bad hay. Then today we just raked it back and dropped them on the ground and covered them back up with the hay. Doing it that way you don't have to dig them up in the fall you just grab the plant and pull and you have a hand full of them potatos. Been planting them that way for years now and it works well

Old, do you get a hay crop from any seed in the hay?

Not much of one. I use hay that has been sittig out side for a few years so its moldy and almost to the point of being rotten. I have also in the past used leaves and or straw but since I had this old bale I used it this time. I also put it down thick so most things like grass will not come up and what does pulls easy because if grows in the hay not the ground under it. This area is mostly sand also which work well for root crops. I'll be planting a few other root crops in the same area in a day or 2 if it warms up enough that is
