DH was beside himself. He really wanted them in on Good Friday. But finally was able to work the soil and get them planted last night. Maybe garden season is finally here. :tools :coolsun

Potomic (red) and Kennebec (white)

I've never heard of Potomac (red) potatoes. I plant Red Pontiac so I thought you meant Red Pontiac instead of Potomac. Nope. I was wrong. Potomac potatoes were developed by the Univeristy if Maryland in the1930's. You can't assume anything.

I put mine in a couple of weeks ago, Kennebek and Red Pontiac. None have come up yet. It should dry out enough by Monday for me to dig a bit and see if they are just slow or if they have rotted in the wet and I need to replant. The ground has been soaking wet since I put them in.

Hooray, you reminded me we need to plant more. I only got about 10 in 2 weeks ago. I need to get the yukon gold's in before its too late!!!

I'm glad you're weather is cooperating, my MIL up your way has given me know nightmare weather story after another for months. I felt so bad for you guys!
