Thanks for those pictures & explanation.
We are FINALLY getting some Spring rain. The gauge has just over 1.25” of soaking-in, not running off, rain in it so far, and still slowly falling.
300’ of potatoes planted; 250’ or so to go. After reading some articles, I decided to space at 15” instead of 12” this year.
3 weeks to go to “last frost”; I may risk some things, but not the really tender stuff.
Good going on the taters. For some reason I think you’re safe from frost at this point ... but what do I know? It would be good to get an early start though, huh? Thank goodness for the rain. A slow soaker is the best kind!
