Although potatoes should be planted a little bit earlier in the month of April they still have time to grow and possibly get a harvest for the summer. Weather conditions are still cool and wet which should help them out before the hot months of summer arrives. I was able to get a twenty foot row with just five pounds of seed potatoes. This should be enough for the season as long as they take to the soil well.

This week is supposed to be cool, but with high enough temperatures that I can start planting most of my cool weather seeds. I still have to plant the last of my seed potatoes and transplant my lettuce into the garden, but getting these four seeds into the garden is a big chunk of the cool weather season. (more…)
Now that some of my lettuce sprouts have started to pop through the soil soon it will be time to remove some of them and leave only one plant per pot.
I like to wait as long as possible so that I can just do all of them at the same time. This year it looks like that will not happen and will have to do each pot periodically due to different sprouting rates. (more…)
