Also, what the hell is a "new potato"?

An unripe potato harvested before the skin has had a chance to thicken.
They taste different and have far more moisture.

Why? You can get 10lbs for $2. I'd rather do something that's harder to get or more expensive.

And you'd just be eating potato-flavored pesticide

I hate those russet potatos.
Nice new potatoes cost a lot more than that.
Not the same thing

You can increase yields by stacking tires around the plants.

/out/ homegrown thread is a better bet

i would not recommend growing potatos inside or any confined space since the gas that omits is quite toxic.

That turned out to be sarin gas from cooking chicken with jalapeños.
60 minutes did a whole segment. Sad and touching.

Does anyone have info on cooking new potatoes?
One friend told me they tried to make mashed potatoes with them and they sucked because they were to watery and not the right consistency

I am debating how large a garden to do this year.
Have plenty of land.
Greenhouse attached to house.
Just worried that it will be a bad drought year and the irrigation ditch that runs through the property will be dry.

Not hard core at all. Have not gardened in years. Just have access to farmland this year and will feel like a twat if I don't make use of it.

Just a few acres.

lol I got excited
My dad had a gf once who was super into gardening and she did all this complicated shit like test the pH and had an uber complicated greenhouse for temp and humidity control.
She never even ate any of it. I don't get why she did it.

It's a hobby. Most of the fun is cultivating, watching things grow, spending time watering, weeding, ameliorating the soil, etc
