Thats what I get for getting behind on my reading I guess. <br />Now about potatoes and tomatoes, We lucked up and found some nice sandwich tomatoes on the way to the beach at our favorite half way spot called McClouds. I have never tried growing potatoes and aways wondered how you know they ready too. Haha. <br /><br />nite<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-19481267342828309332020-07-10T22:01:10.002-04:002020-07-10T22:01:10.002-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-57675829102466685412020-07-10T18:43:32.544-04:002020-07-10T18:43:32.544-04:00I think rebuilding on that Slab is a good idea!

Your planting question's made me realize, if I had to farm for a living I'd probably starve to death. (LOL) I sure like the looks of your new place; having a screen-in lanai sounds like a winner. I can already imagine you and Sherry enjoying your coffee there and loving life. :)Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73822612751365572922020-07-10T14:07:17.688-04:002020-07-10T14:07:17.688-04:00Your new home is set up much the way mine is.

It's the driveway side and everyone just automatically comes that way. I like the enclosed sunroom 3 months out of the year. But winter time here makes it way to cold to use. The door to inside also has the coat closet right there. Its the perfect size for me and I hope you enjoy yours. My daughter planted some potatoes in a barrel so I'm glad you ask the question about when to harvest them. She didn't know either so now I know what to tell her. Happy gardening and hope you get some tomatoes for that tomato sandwich. They are delicious!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-91597230589434910772020-07-10T10:15:31.089-04:002020-07-10T10:15:31.089-04:00Well, good morning Sir Gardener.! As for your pota...Well, good morning Sir Gardener.! As for your potatoes, if you hill them by pulling dirt up around the stems, it will protect your potatoes that are pushing up from underground. Once the plants die down to brown, leave them in the ground another week and then dig them up. That'll be in the late summer or early fall for your area. Finally, let the fresh potatoes dry and let the skins harden about another week before storing them in a dry place, out of sunlight in a brown paper bag works or a basket. We keep ours in the root cellar or the closet away from heat. After all that hard work, savor the flavor. Oh, watch for potato bugs/beetles....they stink when you pinch them and leave orange goo on your fingers...but do kill them. I stomp them between a couple rocks. lol Bill has his first sandwich sized tomato ready for picking and eating. YUM Love your screened in porch idea and my aunt has one of those gas pumps by her driveway, still works.<br />loven'hugs from our north where it's rained steady with sunshine today. I may just get the lawn mowed yet !!!Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-6418076535606004082020-07-10T09:50:59.867-04:002020-07-10T09:50:59.867-04:00Thanks for mentioning me, Jack, about the hallway....Thanks for mentioning me, Jack, about the hallway. Pictures can be deceiving so I wasn't entirely sure. I like Sherry's plans to change the entry way. Not sure about planting, but I have heard that about potatoes; just never did it.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-54560292102350064592020-07-10T08:59:46.281-04:002020-07-10T08:59:46.281-04:00Well like I said I love your new home.
