 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

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
