Our seed potatoes arrived today! That was lightning fast delivery --DS and I ordered them just a few days ago. They're old varieties, organically grown -- shipped from a small independantly-owned family farm I found on the internet. They were reasonably priced I felt (shipping did add to the overall cost. Nicely and securely packaged though). While it's possible I might have been able to get generic seed potatoes cheaper at a gardening center or some such place here in town, I do prefer heirloom garden plants and seeds whenever possible, and organic ones at that. Anyway, DS and I are looking forward to our fun potato project -- we have quite a sampler to enjoy. I'm hoping we can get into the garden this week for at least some tending and planting, if it dries out enough. The ground's still a bit wet from the recent rains to do much of anything, with more weather to come later in the week so they're saying. We may only have a day or two window of opportunity this week to get anything accomplished out there. But of course, it's still early -- there's really no need to get impatient (not yet anyway...).
Spud Luv....
