Good News/Bad News

The good news is that Fortress Blueberry is doing a wonderful job of protecting our blueberry bushes; they seem to be loving it and they are producing a huge crop of blueberries.

The bad news is that the potato plants apparently really hate this arrangement, because the leaves have all turned yellow and the plants appear to be dying.

Potatoes Not Loving It Here
It may have been a mistake to reverse the structure of the anti-varmint panels, putting the plexiglass panel on the bottom and the hardware cloth on the top.  Since the potatoes are cool-weather plants, they may have been getting too warm with the sun coming in through the plexiglass and with not much air circulation at that level.

Not good news for the potatoes, although we did have some good Russets for dinner the other night.
