It is hard to believe that it is that time of year already, but it is, and last week we planted the potatoes.
Potato planting is a big job and has a lot of steps
First the seed potatoes need to be cut into pieces with 2-3 eyes each
Timo and Becca worked quite diligently at this for half the day
After a couple hours the potato choppers may go a little crazy :)
Meanwhile, Dad and Benjamin were busy inventing this. An attachment to the rototiller that digs furrows behind it. Brilliant!
"Now how do we use it?"
Dad drives the tractor...
While Benjamin holds the shovels in at the right depth.
The whole operation looks like this.
Once you have furrows and cut potatoes, the only thing left is to put them together and cover them up.
This was cheerfully done by Benjamin, Timo, and Becca.
"Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you."
That looks like fun! :) Thank ya'll SO much for calling me today! Ya'll made my day!! :)
