getting the rest of the patato's..
after getting 33% 12.5 kilo now I will get the rest of the patato's

the leave are now yellow ..
patato plant with extra fruits
you can see that if you uphill the patato's you will get more because they will not only sprout at the roots of the plant. but also at the branches that are hilled

After getting all out of the ground the total weigth is 55 kilo that only on 15 meter row , if it double layer plant it , so after hilling again plant patato's then I can get 100 kilos ...
I only had 3 kilo seed patato's ...



row after harvest

Start

Was busy with work inside the vinly house because we had a couple of day of rain.
mainly worked on the floor and the rack that will hold the strawberries ..
also work on the design of the seedling tables

strawberry and seedling place under construction

I re-designed the way the dutch buckets are supplied with water in the solar green house, previous I used small hose that where connected to a pipe that had holes, problem was that the holes where small and they issues that the hoses got blocked ..
now I use a T section and use just a pipe with a dead end with a small hole , dont use the hose now.
I am now testing if this system works better , if now a pipe get blocked it is much easier to clean the pipe , previous I needed to clean the hose..

old system

new methode


so it looks like the water supply issues are resolved if iI use this way.
will use the dutch bucket system for tomatos 

I also growing now some melon plants (seeds), and radies when they are a little bigger they will go outside ..

 also need to put the other baby plant that are in the vinly house outside will keep some tomatos to clone them .. with aquaponics

Pulled out 40% of my patatos I got 12.5 kilos medium size patatos ..
Much better then last year, then they where small ..
so hilling them works much better but is a lot of work. patatos on the side of the walk way are bigger than the ones in the middle , so next time hill on the side is important ...

two bags of patato's 12.5 kilo's

only toke 40% of the row .. there is still muck more left will get them when the leaves turn yellow.
