Potato

First white potato blossom today.  White potatoes are my staple crop.  They are the most nutritionally-dense of any vegetable and store well over winter in the root  cellar.  Plus, any left over become the seed potato for next year’s crop.  Even shriveled, they grow.  I bake them, boil them, fry them, scallop them, and add to many other dishes.  Figuring  3, 3 times a week times 52 weeks makes about 450 potatoes.  6 rows times 18 plants per row times 4 per plant is about 430 spuds plus all the red ones: 4 rows at 15 per row times 3 per plant makes 180 more.  (if its a good year….keep your fingers crossed)
