Bought a 50 pound sack of Yukon Gold seed potatoes for $16 this week. I’ve cut 50 seed pieces, and than took the eyeless portions to the kitchen. Locally, YG’s go for over $1/pound, so it’s a bargain: use 1/3 in the kitchen, and the seed & any more for the house are ‘free’. LOL
One day after work, I fueled the tiller & chipper-shredder, and both started right up, after sitting idle all winter. I used the tiller to prep a bed, and planted about 75 each yellow onion & garlic sets. That’s in addition to the the fall planted garlic that came up, as well as some volunteers that got missed at harvest last year.
This weekend will see peas, carrots, and potatoes planted, despite a full moon. MAYBE some spinach, too; we’ll see.
Can’t get too ambitious, as we always get hard frosts in May.
Where did you get the Yukon Gold? That is really cheap compared to most I’ve seen.

My problem, too! Now that I have the TIME to enjoy the Spring, versus running around like a Madwoman from March - June at the Garden Center, I have to really make myself s-l-o-w down and handle ONE thing at a time, versus juggling 15 things at once - that are all on fire, LOL!
These past two Spring seasons, NOT WORKING during Crazy Time and getting to work in my own garden, have been HEAVEN! :)
