put the spuds in behind the peas cuz it is space that never gets used.



should clean the soil and be good for potting up next year  ;)

There is a last frost average date chart for USA and most of Europe on the internet . it is developed as zones and for lots of people is quite useful . Keep records though and see if you have a micro climate that changes things .

they are planted under some larson pines, it has to get very cold to get them there!

Got small spud sprouts here too  :thumbsup:

I buried them, because that's what you do, isn't it?

My early spuds looked very healthy but 2 days ago we got a frost in the hollow part of the veg patch and it hit the spuds !! :(
I planted a main crop in my neighbours veg patch last week. Her son got the vintage tractor out and we planted 3 long lines so hopefully the will sprout soon and we will be frost free from now on.
