Getting the Field Ready for PotatoesWe had a blast planting the Potato Patch and thank all who came to participate. We cut over 2000 lbs of potatoes and planted 1.5 acres in just 3 hours.
For those that couldn't make it to the planting, we are putting together a weeding schedule that you can help with. Then in mid to late September we will share in the harvest with those that have participated as well as give some to the food banks in the area.
Weeding at the potato patch will be this Saturday, August 5th, 8:00 in the morning. |
Planting Potatoes south of Center StreetHeber Valley Self-Reliance group was given a 2 acre field, for the summer, to plant potatoes, flowers, and basil.
These gatherings are great social events as we meet new people and share ideas. If you aren't a member of our group, please consider joining for updates on future events and interesting posts.
