I am really in the mood to grow some spuds this year. Got three kinds of potatoes that went sprouty while I didn't have an oven (not a fan of boiled anything). Some white fingerlings from a friend; what I think is probably Pontiac Reds from the grocery store, and another red called Goldenheart which has yellow flesh and very tasty. The fingerlings and Pontiacs have very long sprouts now, and I'm worrying about getting them planted before its too late. Even thinking about planting under row cover just to get them in the ground... anyone try that, ever?
I suppose by local standards May would not be too early, although lfd is early June.
