Gardens 2023

It's ground engaging time. Seeds, manure, soil, and everything that goes with them. But that's not all. Cutting and hauling wood, chainsaws and the works!

What hardiness zones are you guys in? We here are in zone 5b.
Right on the line between 4a and 4b by the map I just looked at.

Gramps always said to plant the taters on Good Friday. Grams said don't plant anything else before april 1, unless you can cover it when the frost is coming.

Jeff you should green sprout those potatoes. Gives them a head start.
And in my experience. Really doesn’t matter if you plant potatoes two weeks apart. They all seem to harvest at the same time.

Zone here in PEI is 5b. Some areas are 6a. Use to be May 24 th weekend here for planting. But hard to say here now. We’ve had very bad frosts here in the third week of June. So sorta depends on what you plant. Frost doesn’t bother potatoes.
