The last frost of the season is expected around two weeks later. So I thought this was a good time to get the seed potatoes out. I had mixed in some compost last week into the potato patch. Today, I dug four trenches about four inches deep and put all the seed potatoes in. I also included half a potato that had started shooting at home for a total of 22 cuts.
On the spinach patch I saw some seedlings today. I am still not sure if these are spinach or weeds, so I let them stay. There are about seven growing in a line close to where I had sown the seeds, and there aren't similar seedlings anywhere else on the plot. So I am hopeful that these are indeed spinach!
The peas and onions are coming along slowly but steadily. Tomatoes at home are growing fast. Need to transfer them to bigger paper pots soon. All but one pepper plant, have started growing true leaves. I hope they grow into sturdy young plants. The next set of seeds will be beans, after last frost.
