I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

Rain Rain Take a Hike

Well, its Saturday (S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y ai yai yai...), I had big plans for spending raking and tilling and planting, but its raining to beat the band, alternating with irritating drizzle. I got my onion starts in the ground and rake grass clumps and root balls out of the potatoe beds, but it was not use. I did take my snow pea seedlings outside so they would get more light and be encouraged to GROW.

Question; I'm planning to leave at least two eyes on every sections of the potatoe starts I got at the gardening store. Does it make a difference one way or the other if I cut them all up now or wait until right before I plant them?

  • I cut as I plant my potatoes and I leave two eyes on each.I don't know how to write out directions now without a spin on it, still laughing about the corn and onions.
    And this rain is the best, took a run and splashed in the puddles, life cannot get any better.
    Your garden will love the rain, because the sun will soon arrive and make the garden a sauna

    I see you are using the alternate 'Dan Quayle' style spelling that got him called an 'effing idiot' by every democrat with a mouth.
