That was a really awesome idea to plant your potatoes with the corn ! I'm going to steal this idea from you next year if I remember lol . I been thinking hard about planting out my back field that has sat fallow for about 12 years . I have always heard potatoes and corn grow really good on ground that has sat fallow like that . We going to be in the 60's for 2 days after today that will be nice for Dec. here . It's pouring down rain today so everything will be wet and muddy when it's nice tomorrow . I hope you guys have a great day !
