Got the hedge row cleared Thursday and my potatoes planted Friday. Next to get my electric fence up. Just a pic to show where the 140 laid out the rows.

15 degrees and about 18 inches of snow on the ground here. Will need a bigger shovel to plant my garden for a few months.

It's been pretty nice here the last few days.

Last year my tater plant growth was froze off by a late frost. The taters did come back okay but it took a while. What is the normal rule-of-thumb for the time to plant? Just so the soil is warming and workable?

Yea, generally around here late January through mid Feb. It's time right now and will soon move into late.

I planted yellow, white and red. 7 pounds each I think.
