Spring Has Sprung

It was a beautiful 60 degrees with barely a breeze today- it's about damn time!

We received our first shipment of seeds and plants from the seed company a couple of days ago. I thought it was too early to plant strawberries and rhubarb, but Guernsey Seed Co. assured me that it is not too early to plant in zone 5. Art tilled up the gardens today to prepare for this weekends' planting of 4 rhubarb plants, 50 strawberry plants and 10 lbs of Yukon Gold seed potatoes (the bag said that it should yield 100-150 lbs of potatoes) We extended our garden this year and now have two separate patches... together it measures out to be approximately 1650 square feet- that's about 100 square feet smaller than my house..
