After getting about 7 inches or rain a week ago we got another inch on Friday. I’m afraid that all the rain rotted some of the potatoes and washed away some of the seedlings. Most of the seeds that I think got washed were early season varieties. I’m planning on replanting potatoes as soon as the ground dries out some.
I got the main seasons seeds in the mail this week and I expect planting to start for most things around March 16th depending on the weather and forecasts of course.
The tomatoes in the greenhouse are looking good so far and the peppers are just about to start coming up.
Things are starting to get busy around here and I plan and building the rows as soon as the ground allows.

I do my planning based on the Frost date, then do the adjusting according to the temperatures.

When you’re planting your main season crops, do you go more by the freeze calendar or by soil temperatures?
