Potatoes

Jim bought 4.75 pounds of seed potatoes for .49 a pound.  We are trying some new ones this year, Red Norland and Yukon Gold, as well as the ordinary russets, we usually get. Lynette helped cut them up to sets and Jim planted them April 28.  That was enough to fill our row completely.

We bought Pansies for .98 for 6 at Walmart, cheapest I've even seen and planted them by the gas meter in the front.  It's been so cool and wet, they should last a little longer than usual.

My mum by the mailbox looks like it isn't coming back.  I wonder if soil (hard with too much gravel) or dryness (doesn't get watered much) had anything to do with it.  It looked so pretty, I better get another one.
