Typhoon Faxai

The latest typhoon has brought heavy rain to Honshū. It’s passing south of Tokyo at the moment. The brassicas have taken a weathering as the gusts have been strong.
I took a photo a few days prior on what was a nice day. From the left:

Hope you and the garden survive the typhoon.

Will you be able to grow potatoes all through the winter? What do you do to protect them, if anything?

I think it fared better than me.
Here’s a link Cynthia to a previous post: http://blog.adekun.com/2006/12/new-year-spuds.
Since the snow has been fairly light, it seems possible to get a few spuds over the winter. I dug some trenches for the snow, although what fell pretty much finished the haulms. Maybe some experiments (and luck) will give a bigger yield.
