    Just found your guys vlogs and really enjoying watching them.Love your laid back attitude to everything.Evelyn was so cute playing in the puddles.Ive got a little grand daughter who's just crawling and she likes to go straight to puddles,dogs bowl,rubbish bin, basically to all the places you don't want her to go.I don't know much about growing potatos but having a go this year growing some in pots.

    Evelyn looking into the camera - priceless 😊. Mound your spuds - somehow - better crop and frost protection. You can use old baleage if you can get it. I thought you lived in the “winterless north”!

    i seem to remember reading something about ripening bananas by putting them in a paper bag with either apples or tomatoes. not sure it works in bulk, but may be worth a try.

      they should ripen quick with the heat of the greenhouse hopefully if not ill try your idea

    -- look at the banana palms.
    I put a netting fence around my plantation and put the ducks in there.
    Banana plants love duck poo.
    And if you harvest, you may like to cut the banana trunk a meter from the ground.
    It will bear another banana bunch.
    Like love and respect.

      What type of potatoes, In my own observation, I would mound the potatoes. I used a back hoe shovel.

      yep have done all that lol ducks go in there for most of the summer time its just the frost at the moment thats making them look pretty bad but hopefully in spring they burst back with life
