  1. Got mine all in and everything is up and growing although my plants took a beating with the heavy wind and rain and I do have some washout areas. Not sure how things look after last nights deluge. I Have been enjoying green onions for a while and will harvest some lettuce in a few days! Looks like a couple dry days first of the week so good luck getting your planting done!

  2. Pray for SPRING would be a good one  ;D

    The seed catalogs are coming out now and you can look over them and decide what you want to plant,  If you are starting plants from seed inside and also you can do a layout on paper for the space you will be planting

  3. Gardens on The Hill are doing great but some deer did jump the fence and pick off some greenbean plants that were doing great.  Maters are growing very good and peppers are looking ok as well.  Peas are getting bigger as well as sunflowers, cukes, pumpkins and corn.  My 120+ hills of taters are up about a foot and lookiing great.  Just gotta keep the hill critters away and everything should be fine.  The rain sure has been good for the gardens here... :)

  4. Be carefull not to plant any type of willow near sewer or drain lines because the willow's roots will find their way in to the pipe if possible and plug them with roots.  (especially older clay pipe) Just a note of caution!  If possible, maybe you could run an additional french drain to catch the excess water and run it away from the area.....

  5. That might have been a little misleading. I dug them last fall and stored them properly and have been eating them for most of the winter.  The small ones that are now left will probably be planted but I do buy seed taters to plant for my crop.  I like Kenebeck (sp) and also plant a red tater as well.  As for the salt shaker that is when I am out in the garden stealing a tater here and there without disturbing the whole plant while they grow....... ;)

  6. Yes, you  can quarter them etc. I usually buy seed potatoes and prefer Kenebec (sp) and also plant a red potatoe as well but I throw a whole potatoe in the hill instead of cutting them and have good luck that way.  I was eating potatoes from the garden up till a few ago and finally ran out.  Good luck
