Second Crop of Irish Potatoes

Correspondence from Caxley North Carolina offers guidance on planting a second crop of Irish potatoes. Key tips include avoiding sun exposure for seed, keeping land damp but not waterlogged, planting in the evening or on cloudy days, not letting harvested seed sit in sun, shallow depths of one and a half to two inches, shading or covering to protect from sun, and specific timing through September 15 on good soil. The writer Gn J J Rawis notes winter plantings for family use and multiple planting times for varying seasons.
