Potatoes can be planted anytime from early spring, until mid-spring, and since the first day of summer is still three weeks away, it's just about the last week that we can plant potatoes here in New England. Potatoes can, and should be planted in the early spring since they can withstand cool temperatures and damp soil, and in a typical year, I would plant potatoes in mid April, but due to a sick dog, two weeks of cold rain, (which kept us from air-drying cut seed potatoes in the sun), and ultimately, a rotted bag of seed potatoes, it seemed that a potato crop was not possible this year. After opening the seed potato bag, I discovered that only half of the bag was rotten, and the rest of the small, whole seed potatoes, were already sprouting.

| EEW, ROTTON POTATOES! BUT LOOK CLOSELY, NOT ALL ARE SPOILED. |
Seed potatoes are shipped to home growers in time for planting in their own gardens, and Johnny's Selected Seeds shipped this bag or Yukon Gold seed potatoes, in April, but the bag sat on the back porch, during our very cold and damp spring. After opening the stinky bag, it seemed that all of the potatoes had rotted, but many were still firm, and I decided to ask Travis, our part-time gardener, to help prepare the bed in
