We had a late light frost yesterday morning but the day turned out to be the best one yet this season as the wind finally blew itself out. I put Scott’s Weed and Feed on the lawn to surprise my First Wife when she gets back from a few days in Ashland Ore with our First Daughter and our First grand daughter. Then I continued the yard clean up of broken branches from the Redwood trees and the elderly Red Alder as we may be getting company.

We planted 24 hills of Yukon Gold and 24 hills of Red Gold on Wednesday that had sprouted in storage. I should have ordered Caribe tater seed as I lost my stock to blight. I am pre-sprouting corn seed in damp paper towels in the kitchen window as it will rot in our damp NW Calif soil. I may plant the seed in styrofoam cells today and grow them out to about 3 inches tall and then transplant them 2 to a hill in the garden the end of May...
