Heavy mulch AKA "Back to Eden" gardening leads to massive reduction in the need for weeding here. No more need for the tiller and rebuilding the soil by composting in place

@Gordy I like the idea. Thanks for the pictures of green stuff, I forgot what it looks like.

Like holiday advertising, I heard the first radio commercial for weed and feed crabgrass preventer yesterday Jump the gun much

Well here we are at St Patrick’s Day and again this year I think it’s really too cold and wet to plant potatoes yet. We have hard freezes coming the next two nights then we might start coming out of it. I’m hoping to get them in the ground in a week or two. I guess I jumped the gun a little too!

Interesting how different regions plant by these timelines. In our area the old timers always said that you plant your potatoes ono Good Friday. (I find that I can never seem to get them in by then)

Sorry to hear, wet soil is not fun to work with. It'll pass quickly Jeff!

What hardiness zones are you guys in? We here are in zone 5b.

I believe we are in zone 6 in this part of Missouri. As Bob said it is interesting how the old timers planted on timeline’s. I probably should have waited, I figured I’d be too early but last year I waited too long. So at least I have the potatoes, they’ll keep for a couple of weeks!

They'll be fine even longer in a cool dark place. If they sprout doesn't matter either.
