    Planted 80 stuttgarter onion slips. Finished another raised bed, turned compost, almost all of my strawberries are D-E-D DEAD, so I'll replace those after next week since we'll be in the low 30s again next week. I've got 100 plants waiting to go in the beds that I'm scared to death to plant.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Did your strawberries freeze? Mine are doing good in the greenhouse.

    Yes they froze, AND... I hate you. Lol. There was only so much I could do, they're in PVC towers in the ground. I covered with burlap, and shielded from the wind, but it didn't work out.

    We planted 10lbs of cut Kennebac potatos. It gave us 4 rows. 2 rows of Yellow storage onion sets. 1 row of red, white, & yellow onion slips. 1 row of beets, 1 row split between parsnips and carrots. 3 horse radish roots.
    Dam I'm tired.

    Helo, is that a "Claw" you are using, or a digging fork?

    My kennebec taters are finally starting to come up. My Yukon golds, and reds are up and doing well. I've got about 9 kennebecs up so far, probably 30 left.

    That sucks. Mine are just starting to get ripe, my son got to the one in the pic before I did. Almost hurt him for it.

    Heck not sure. It has 4 big tines that are twisted on the outside, and 3 small tines inside.

    Helo, you are using one of these:

    and you should be using one of these:

    I have the attachment for my brushcutter and use it in all my raised beds!
