[QUOTE="tynyphil, post: 4212231, member: 44419"] Here's another little 'trick' I've learned with the taters. Once planted in the very early spring the leaves will take a couple of weeks to emerge but you can count on late frosts to burn them back ( they will survive but set back). I dig a foot deep furrow with the soil mounded up on either side. Put the seed potato in the bottom and cover with 3-4" soil. Once the leaves start to emmerge....if an overnight frost is forecast I will drag down a bit of the dirt with a rake to lightly cover the leaves....protecting them from the frost. This can be done severfal times thru the weeks if need be. Then as they grow continue dragging dirt up to the plant until you actually have a mound that the potatoes are forming in. [/QUOTE]
