Planting Potatoes


Today's main chore was to get the potatoes in before it rained. Last night we cut the seed potatoes up and let air dry over night. We got up before daylight. I baked and Doug prepared the garden for planting. While the bread cooled I headed to the garden and we planted 65 pounds of potatoes. We finished just as a light mist began to fall. We also managed to get a few broccoli and cabbage plants in as well.
After the morning milking chores were finished I got a few seeds sown in flats. I planted 4 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, 3 kinds of eggplant and 1 pepper variety. I have several more to get started later this week.
