We are still cold here. Snow flurries, teasing sun on some days. It was 37 this morning so the fireplace is going.
I have been out pulling weeds in the flowers, the shotweed is here.

I do have a question about potatoes. I put them in already, just like i do every year. Then the plant grows. I start hilling.
Hilling: what does this actually mean?
For me, I put more dirt on making sure none of the potatoes are on the surface.
My potatoe crop will not fill a 5 gallon bucket.

They say this is one of the easiest things to grow. What am I dong wrong? Maybe my dirt is too fancy for them?
