Squash, potatoes & chard

I have never attempted to grow potatoes before, and may have put them in a little late, so wish me luck. I also welcome any bits of wisdom you may have about spuds. The squash have surprised me how quickly they blossomed. I guess it’s going to get a bit hot for chard soon, but I’ll stretch it as long as I can, I love bitter greens in pastas and quiche. Wonder if they’d hold up as well as kale for making chips?

Another option if you are growing more food than you need is to visit http://www.AmpleHarvest.org – a site that helps diminish hunger by enabling gardeners to share their garden produce/herbs with neighborhood food pantries.
The site is free both for the food pantries and the gardeners using it.
Backed by Google.com and the USDA, more than 1,700 food pantries nationwide are already on it and more are signing up daily.
It includes preferred delivery times, driving instructions to the pantry as well as (in many cases) information about store bought items also needed by the pantry (for after the growing season). A free Ample Harvest iPhone app is also available.
If your community has a food pantry, make sure they are registered at http://www.AmpleHarvest.org.
