Today we planted the potatoes, four kinds, Russett Burbank, Ruby Gold, German Butterball and All Blue.  Planted them in trenches around six inches deep. The All Blue are seed potatoes from last year. All the potatoes were in very good shape. We stored them in the root cellar. Some had big eyes growing out of them.

Also planted a strand of onions, Superstar.

32 F this morning at 8:00 AM. The same thing the morning before and to top things off it was 36 F at noon. We're in a cold strech this week but we still got some stuff out.

Today we planted, Escarole (Natacha and Batavian), Parsnips and something called Scorzonera. I don't know what the last one is but it sounds cool. We also bit the bullet and roto tilled the upper garden. First I mowed the winter rye (about knee high) and then we took turns roto tilling. Roto tilling is good for any relationship. We also moved some bee's friend down to the lower garden. The sun never peeked out today. The spring birds are incredible. We still have the bluebird pair nesting in their house, a tree swallow pair and now a Baltimore Oriole pair. That is a real treat, the female is getting nesting material from under our deck so I'm able to watch close up. We also have rose breasted grosbeaks, indigo buntings and a host of others.

Beautiful day today. Got more vegetables in the ground.

Planted Cabbages, Farao, Primo, Savoy Ace, Danish Ball. Also planted onions between them. The weather is starting to get a little cold these days. We had frost on Tuesday the 13th, not a hard frost but frost nonetheless. The portable greenhouse is keeping everything warm with the help of a little heater. So far so good.
