In 2026, we’re expanding the raspberry bed. They are a perennial which makes them easier to grow, they don’t take much work, they reproduce aggressively, and I love these berries.
This expansion takes up the place where the potatoes were in 2025.
So we’re looking for another spot for the potatoes.
I was hoping to plant them under the triangular butternut squash support (which once was part of a baby crib) but I then did my research and potatoes and squash don’t play well together. They attract the same pests, they are both heavy feeders, and the squash tends to smother the potatoes.
Which means the search for a new potato spot continues!
While planning your garden, research which of your desired plants play together well…or not-so-well. This will greatly increase your success rate!
