 I got everything but the potatoes completely planted, which I'm very happy about! Honestly, I probably shouldn't be putting the potatoes in the ground yet, but eh why not. I will plant the rest in the next two weeks or so, so if there is a late frost, I don't risk all of them. I did put in about 90 feet so that was good. I've also got about 45 row feet where I don't have anything planned in the grains section so I'm probably going to throw cover crop in. 

The flax I ended up doing half broadcast and half with the seeder just so I can do a comparison. One thing I noticed is that the seeder didn't seem to plant a ton of the seed. I might need to switch out the seed plate or something, or just broadcast the flax forever. 

I could have gotten more stuff done, like plant more potatoes or some other assorted projects but 1. there's a storm rolling in that looks about an hour out and 2. IIHF gold medal game is happening now.

I'm video chatting with a friend around 4 as well, which will be nice. dnd tonight too. I'll try and post pictures at some point, but it might be after I go back to NY

Plant potatoes around Good Friday, right? And that's Friday. So, pretty close. :) Hope your potatoes will be okay.

honestly, I know there's a bunch of different holidays to plant them around depending on the area, so I just go with april to may anytime. As long as they don't get a hard frost, they'll be fine. Our frost free date is 3rd to 4th week of may so there is some risk of frost. But we've also been having earlier and earlier springs due to climate change so it's honestly a complete mystery.

I just stick shit in the ground and hope it works :P

Nice! Busy busy! I just got some potatoes and onions to plant, and a bunch of flower bulbs. Our weather is mild here, so it's about the right time for planting things here. Now for my hands to heal up enough to plant some more things.

Hope you have a great time video chatting. 😊

I hope your hands heal quick! I'm so late on my onions, I completely forgot to start them so I just got the seeds sowed a week ago lol. We'll see if they manage to do anything
