Preparations for Garden 2012

Placed an order for potatoes on Feb 1 (expected to ship around Feb 15th) from http://www.irisheyesgardenseeds.com/.
I asked if they’d extend the 25lb per-pound rates to me in light of me buying 35lbs of potatoes, but they wouldn’t.

The price per pound of the regular potatoes was $2.40
The French Fingerlings were $5.50
10 lbs Desiree
10 lbs Early Ohio
10 lbs Cal White
5 lbs French Fingerling

 

We have a fair number of seeds left over from last year, but I’ll be placing an order today or tomorrow for the shortfall.

 

I’ve planned the garden to follow a 7-yr crop rotation as follows:

Potato

Squash

Roots
(non-potato)

Legume

Nightshade

Brassica & Green

Corn
