   Taters in the ground

      I should have had them planted at least 2 weeks ago , but the ground   
   has been too wet to plow (grin) so I waited . This is my first real   
   effort to cultivate taters , I planted some reds for new potatoes (and   
   mature ones too) and some tan ones for long term storage for the winter   
   . I also checked out the strawberry patch , there will be berries this   
   year . I had about a dozen plants that were off the area I want them   
   confined to , so I dug those up and filled in some thin spots . They   
   were thin because an oak tree was shading that area - it's firewood now   
   . Other trees around the garden have joined it and more will be as I   
   figure out the shade patterns . We can spare a few of the 12,000 or so   
   trees we have ... and there are a few around the orchard that need to go   
   too .
