What else can you do!<br /><br />Eli...I've never had a problem with sand in the leaves but I do put down a nice layer of hay mulch beneath them, and as you eat up the stalk the leaves get further and further away from the ground, too.<br /><br />Hi Leslie...You definitely should try again next year. In the past I planted the little fingerling potatoes that you purchase in Publix, and I got a beautiful crop. But I've not had as much luck with the small red potatoes.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

But I enjoy our little baby-sized potatoes and I think we ought to try again next year!

I think because whenever we were given home grown greens in the past it took forever to get the sand off of them. Is that a problem for you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
