    Seed Potatoes

    So, my garden surprised me by not being frozen yesterday and that means its time for seed potatoes. I have red, white, and purple being prepared to go in the ground this weekend. I may try for a second planting in about 2 weeks. I also have some russets on order. When I was cutting my...

    Rodent Near the Garlic?

    Wintering My Garden

    Hello, I have gardened for a few years, but I am trying something new this year. This year I will try to winter my garlic, onions (and potatoes if I can get any). A friend did garlic last year, so I know it is possible in my zone; I was looking for advice about onions and potatoes for anyone...
